50 minutes 75%
10 minute warmup
50 minutes @ 75% FTP
5 minute cool down
1x20 threshold interval workout - with 1-minute hard efforts
Total of 20 min of intervals @ 85-105% FTP.
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.
NOTE: this time, every 5 minutes of the interval (so at minute 5, 10, 15, 20), stand and go approximately 120% of threshold power for 1 minute. Recover in the saddle at threshold effort between these standing efforts. Remember that HR will take time to drop after the efforts, so go by feel until HR stabilizes. Cool down thoroughly :)

This workout has been created to work at a percentage of your FTP - So as long as your FTP is correctly set in the iMi App then the wattage figures will automatically adjust to your training level
Please note, if you change your FTP you need to update the figure in 'My Account' on the WEBSITE for the changes to be reflected in your workouts
Assuming FTP = 265
