Each Sunday I’ll post a Smart Trainer session that you can do in about 60 minutes to enhance your cycling.
Riding at or around your Threshold will bring up both your ability to sustain high-intensity effort (as well as your suffering). This session is great for triathletes, road cyclists, and can also be beneficial for mountain bikers, especially for events that are about an hour in duration such as a 40km Time Trial or the bike leg of an Olympic Distance Triathlon.

I’ve been planning a series of weekly articles for over a year now, looking at what different coaches prescribe (or used to prescribe) and why. This is the second article in the series, using Joe Friel’s The Power Meter Handbook as the primary reference.
