Technique and Drills
8 minutes of 15 sec. Micro Intervals

This is a classic workout for all endurance sports. I used it for rowing where 5 minutes is close to the race distance but it's a staple for cycling, XC ski and running when building aerobic capacity is the goal.
During the warm-up do some accelerations and several one minute periods at LT intensity.

Notes = This session is best done on the flats with a self-selected cadence. Picture yourself closing the gap the winning break ?
Pre-Activity Comments: OK mate this is a race replication can be done on the flats or around a block. keep the HR above 75during the main set, make it hurt mate, hold the 30 sec effort consitently dont go high and die. I want a solid effort all the way.
