Cycling is a unique sport in terms of the variation of intensity. The tactics involved of responding to both terrain changes and competitors can see athletes using a variety of intensities through a race. Training needs to replicate this. The cycle leg of a draft legal is a similar but different. Road cyclists will often finish with a sprint and draft legal triathletes will need to get off the bike and then run. Mountain Bikers have a wide variety of intensities due to the terrain as well. This workout delivers a training stimulus that tests and stretches the physiological response to a range of intensities and is suitable for road cyclists, cross country mountain bikers and draft-legal triathletes as well.
