Time under tension is a key determinant for strength development. With the low cadences used within this workout we load the cycling muscles with time under tension building their strength and ultimately their power. This workout is great for all cyclists, but especially athletes that ride longer durations with sustained power, such as Ironman 70.3 athletes and marathon mountain bikers.

Tempo is an intensity that means different things to different athletes and coaches. For me, I define Tempo as an effort comfortably below the Threshold pace. It is the sort of intensity that if you had to you could maintain for a duration longer than a half marathon. It is higher than the aerobic running pace, sort of in the mid-zone between the two levels. This is a perfect session for runners and triathletes running events up to full marathons and further, especially early in their build up or during their taper phase.

Tempo is an intensity that means different things to different athletes and coaches. For me, I define Tempo as an effort comfortably below the Threshold pace. It is the sort of intensity that is typically maintained during fast Ironman 70.3 events. It is higher than the aerobic effort of long steady workouts, sort of in the mid-zone between the aerobic and threshold efforts. Spending more than 15-20 minutes at this intensity, helps the body practice clearing the small amount of lactic acid generated at this pace, without needing to slow down to do so. This is a perfect session for triathletes competing in Ironman and Ironman 70.3 distance events.
