Doing repeated short bouts of exercise at very high intensity develops several physiological systems in the body. Predominantly it provides a great training stimulus for the neuromuscular system. Although not specific to endurance events, training the neuromuscular system can bring on your fitness very quickly and is still a massive benefit for endurance athletes especially early in the season or if you are unfit. This workout can be done by beginners or experienced cyclists alike because a max sprint is all about your level of effort and is likely to be different from another rider.

Developing your ability to sustain a higher pace, gives you the ability to build higher speed on top of the speed you can sustain (a great benefit for master’s swimmers). It also gives a great training stimulus to enhance your threshold swimming (a great benefit for triathletes and open-water swimmers). This session is perfect for master’s swimmers as well as open-water swimmers and triathletes.

Running at maximum intensity for about an hour will be done at or just below your threshold pace. When an event is longer than this your race pace will be further below threshold at Tempo pace. The best way to prepare the body to handle this intensity is to spend time running at it. This workout is great to include early in your build-up to expose the body to a slightly higher intensity.

This week has been a week jammed full of biking and it’s been very strange, from only doing long rides with multiple runs to nothing at all, and now just cycling 6 days of this week. Being off training has made it easier as I just feel the need to do some form of exercise and sweat out some energy and biking when I got back was perfect to what I needed.
