As with last weeks run which targeted multiple intensities, today’s run is an over-under style of session with intervals mixing up intensities very close to your threshold giving you a good boost of fitness. All runners (and triathletes) can benefit from this higher intensity of training, especially athletes with events from 10km out to a marathon.

Research shows that intervals with a range of intensities develop greater training benefits. This session has intervals at Level V initially before settling at Level IV to generate these benefits. This session is great for all cyclists including triathletes and mountain bikers.

Riding at a sustained pace below your Threshold is referred to as Tempo training. This session builds 36 minutes of riding at your Tempo intensity into it. This is great for triathletes, especially long course athletes, but also road cyclists and mountain bikers who intend to ride solo to victory.

Low cadence efforts develop muscular force within the muscle fibres. Tempo training is a great training tool and when done at a low cadence will help build strength. This type of training will benefit longer more sustained efforts road cyclists that will attempt to break away for a solo ride to victory, half Ironman and Ironman distance athletes, as well as Mountain Bikers doing longer events.

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 VO2 max intensity with very limited Rest Intervals (RI). 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.
