Sunday Smart-Trainer Session – Martin Gibala Intervals IV

Doing repeated short bouts of exercise at very high intensity develops a number of physiological systems in the body. Predominantly it provides a great training stimulus for the neuromuscular system. Although not specific to endurance events, training the neuromuscular system can bring on your fitness very quickly and is still a massive benefit for endurance athletes especially early in the season or if you are unfit. This workout can be done by beginners or experienced cyclists alike because a max sprint is all about your level of effort and is likely to be different from another rider.

Sunday Smart-Trainer Session – Robin Tullett’s Pyramid Endurance Workout Four Reverse

For longer distance events such as an Ironman 70.3 (or even an Olympic distance triathlon) spending training time at both threshold and tempo intensity is beneficial, as it is likely that you’ll spend some portion of the cycle leg at these intensities (more time at tempo than threshold). This workout is a great test that gives you a great training stimulus. Don’t attempt this workout unless you are well-rested. Treat this as a race simulation, use your race bike, and practice your nutrition.

This is interspaced with high-intensity efforts, just to keep you on your toes.
