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.

This session develops Anaerobic Power to assist with you breaking away, whether on a hill or punching it solo on the flat. The high intensity efforts will deplete the Anaerobic energy system and force you to really suffer at the end, but this suffering is what will generate the bodies improvement and can’t be generated by missing the early efforts in the workout. This session will help you develop that and is great for all cyclists including triathletes (especially draft legal athletes) and mountain bikers.

As the saying goes “there are many ways to skin a cat” *. Instead of doing longer intervals at your Threshold pace, in this workout you will prime your lactate acid system first by doing an anaerobic effort prior to five minutes riding at your Threshold intensity. This session will help you develop that and is great for all cyclists including triathletes (especially draft legal athletes) and mountain bikers.

This session will help you develop that and is great for all cyclists including triathletes (especially draft legal athletes) and mountain bikers.
