Each Sunday I’ll post a Smart Trainer session that you can do in about 60 minutes to enhance your cycling.
As the saying goes “there are many ways to skin a cat” *. Instead of doing longer intervals at your Threshold pace, in this workout you will prime your lactate acid system first by doing an anaerobic effort prior to five minutes riding at your Threshold intensity. This session will help you develop that and is great for all cyclists including triathletes (especially draft legal athletes) and mountain bikers.

This session will help you develop that and is great for all cyclists including triathletes (especially draft legal athletes) and mountain bikers.
