Wednesday Windtrainer Workout: Myers & Allen’s Over Unders

Riding at a changing intensity even if a small fluctuation in effort prepares for the realities of riding in the real world. Long distance athletes spend the majority of their race riding at Tempo, this session prepares you for that. This session is great for Ironman and Ironman 70.3 athletes but all triathletes, road cyclists (particularly longer time trialists and those likely to attempt a breakaway) and mountain bikers will also benefit from the fitness it develops.

Zwift Workout

Wednesday Windtrainer Workout: Zwift Academy 2021 FTP Boost

Riding at your threshold is important to develop your ability to maintain your maximum steady state. Each rep starts with an anaerobic capacity effort to surge some lactic acid in your blood system, developing great tolerance. Then with Threshold efforts this represents you surging ahead in an even and then trying to stay away. This session is great for triathletes, road cyclists and mountain bikers.

Watts On Zwift

Wednesday Windtrainer Workout: Zwift Academy 2021 VO2 Over Under Intervals

Spending time at or near your VO2 Max will enhance it, spending your down time at your Threshold intensity will also enhance that.

This session is great for triathletes, road cyclists and mountain bikers.

Cycling Session

Wednesday Windtrainer Workout: Gareth’s 30min Lockdown Power Workout II

I needed to develop a short, intense session for an athlete due to the position they have found themselves in due to changes in COVID-19 restrictions where they live. This session targets a range of intensities in a limited time frame. This session is great to build your top end intensity but also your ability to turn on the intensity with limited recovery and is great for both road cyclists and triathletes, as well as mountain biking.

Cycling

Wednesday Windtrainer Workout: Gale Bernhardt’s Half Ironman Bike Intervals #3

Spending time training at appropriate intensities is important for developing your ability to ride at different paces or intensities in an event. For a half-Ironman event you will spend most of the event riding at Level III (about 77-90% Functional Threshold Power). This session is great for a taper week leading into an event. Even though this workout is designed for a half-Ironman athlete road cyclists especially those doing a century and mountain bikers can also benefit from it.
