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.

Target wattages set based on % of FTP so ensure your FTP values are set correctly in your personal profile!

Ramp Test 4W Increments - 100W Start

This workout is what Hunter Allen recommends for testing your FTP. The test is actually supposed to be 20 minutes, but I ride a 10 mile time trial which takes me around 25 minutes. I wish it only took me 20 :-)

This workout is adapted from the book The One-Minute Workout by Martin Gibala. It's simply double the original workout. Tabata training was developed by Dr. Izumi Tabata at the National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Tokyo. It's a timed interval method that alternates between 20-second intervals performed at maximum effort and 10-second stages of rest, repeated eight times for the ultimate exhaustive four-minute workout.

start time with the sound of the horn @0:47

After a warm-up do one 10-minute interval at Threshold, followed by 10 minutes of recovery. Then ride at Threshold for 20-30 minutes, followed by ten 20-second bursts. For the bursts, start out of the saddle and push your cadence to 100 rpm in all-out intervals - hammer these. Rest 2-3 minutes between intervals. Cool Down.

4 x 4 min intervals at 105% FTP with 4 min rest

LT-W1

Total of 40 min of intervals in Threshold zone (Power Zone 4). The most difficult workout of the week, in most cases. Show up reasonably well-rested and ready to work! Plan for effective post-workout recovery nutrition and sleep for maximal results.

1 x 40 Zone 4.

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 30 seconds Zone 6 power (or as hard as you can, in other words). Immediately take 30 seconds easy pedaling (Zone 2 - this will feel really easy at this point, in comparison). After 30 seconds Zone 2 go back to 30 seconds as hard as possible. Repeat over and over until you have done 10 x 30-second hard efforts. This is the end of the first work set.

Spin lightly for 5 minutes. Then repeat as above for a second work set of 10 x 30-second intervals.

Spin lightly to recover for at least 10 minutes.
