Wednesday Windtrainer Workout: Myers & Allen’s Over Unders

Riding at a changing intensity even if a small fluctuation in effort prepares for the realities of riding in the real world. Long distance athletes spend the majority of their race riding at Tempo, this session prepares you for that. This session is great for Ironman and Ironman 70.3 athletes but all triathletes, road cyclists (particularly longer time trialists and those likely to attempt a breakaway) and mountain bikers will also benefit from the fitness it develops.
