2x20 Sweet Spot

Author: abutts

Category: Endurance

Total Time: 01:04:00

Warm up for 15 min. Then do 2 x 20 min sweetspot intervals with 2 min rest interval between.
These should be done at 88 to 93% of threshold power or 92-95% of threshold HR.
Warm down after.
Heart rate users should remember that it will take several minutes for your HR to raise to the prescribed level.
Go by perceived effort at the beginning, dont force it!

10 minutes of Warm Up [Fixed resistance 1]
20 minutes of 1x20 tempo [ERG watts = 88% of FTP]
2 minutes of 2 min rest

3 sets of 5 x 60 second intervals (60 seconds on; 60 sec recovery)

Author: deniskissane

Category: Explosive Power

Total Time: 01:05:00

Summary

Warm up very thoroughly; these hurt a bit.
Once warmed up, find a flat to moderately uphill road with no stops for at least a 7-8 minute stretch at high speed.
Begin by pedaling 60 seconds at 120+% FTP. Immediately take 60 seconds easy pedaling (Zone 1 - this will feel really easy at this point, in comparison). After 60 seconds Zone 1 go back to 60 seconds at 120+% FTP. Repeat over and over until you have done 5 x 60-second hard efforts. This is the end of the first work set.
Spin lightly for 4-5 minutes. Then repeat as above for a second work set of 5 x 60-second intervals.
Spin lightly for 4-5 minutes. Then repeat as above for a third work set of 5 x 60-second intervals.
Spin lightly to recover for at least 10 minutes.

3 x 9 minute "Threshold Pyramids"

Author: bikescience

Category: Endurance

Total Time: 00:51:00

Summary

10 minute warm up
3 set of 9 minute "Threshold Pyramids" - gradual increases in power until peak reached at 105% FTP then decrease
3 mins recovery between intervals
8 mins warm down

A pretty tough session this one. Will really work on your ability to stay relaxed riding at or above threshold pace. Concentrate on keeping the upper body still and relaxed and the cadence smooth as the power increases. It'll still feel hard on the way down from the top of each pyramid. Focus on keeping god form all the way through.
