Better Cycling - Sweet Spot Steps
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

Main Set - 2x15mins doing:
5mins @ 230w
5mins @ 250w
5mins @ 270w
Have 5mins @ 150w between the 2x15 to recover. Aim to keep cadence to 87-93rpm.
5-10mins Cool down at 150w.

Interval with squats
At each "squat" rest, pause the workout and get off the bike. Do 15 kettle bell squats (16 kilo bell for 160 lb guy) the first 2 sessions and try to do more than 15 for the third session. When I get on the bike I need to change "erg" to "man", get to a good cadence, then return to erg and hit play.
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 :)
2x20 Sweet Spot
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!
