AC: FTP and Sweet Spot
10 min warmup. Then 5 min at threshold power. 5 min recovery. Then the pain begins! 5 x 2 min as hard as you can go! 3 min recoveries. Use your lap function and average lap power as a carrot to push yourself each time. Shoot for over 130% of FTP in these but stop if you cannot hold at least 118%. Not done yet! Recover another 3 min after your last effort and then do 20 min at sweetspot. Warm down after 10 min.
OD. 40-20 efforts
This workout has been created to work at a percentage of your FTP -
60 minutes 75%
10 minute warmup
60 minutes @ 75% FTP
5 minute cool down
2 sets of 10 x 30 second intervals (30 seconds on; 30 sec recovery)
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.
