Pogačar’s Spiked Threshold Efforts (Advanced)

Sunday Smart-Trainer Session: Pogačar’s Spiked Threshold Efforts (Advanced)

Sustained efforts particularly on climbs is an important aspect for all cyclists – road, triathletes and mountain bikers. The ability to change effort, especially when fatigued will help you tactically in events. This workout provides elements of all of the above to build your fitness and ensure future success (and a reasonable amount of fatigue) – make sure you rest and rest well after this session. Even though this workout is significantly toned down from the professional version – it’s still not for the faint hearted.

Sunday Smart-Trainer Session: RAMP Test Tempo Session #2

I wanted a workout for an athlete of mine that tested their legs whilst fatigued. With only an hour available, I needed to get their fatigue levels relatively high, relatively qwikly prior to the set of tempo intervals. This is a modification of what I developed. Although I used RAMP Test in the title for the workout, it’s not a true RAMP test and we restrict the maximum intensity to allow you the opportunity to complete the threshold intervals. This session is great for triathletes, and road cyclists. It can also be beneficial for mountain bikers, especially for events that are about an hour in duration such as a Ironman and Ironman 70.3 Distance Triathlons.

3x 8min Threshold Intervals - 60min

Sunday Smart-Trainer Session: 3x 8min Threshold Intervals

Spending time riding at your Threshold will enhance your ability to ride at Threshold. It will allow you to tolerate lactic acid, clearing it more effectively, lifting your Functional Threshold Power (FTP) and also moving your Anaerobic Threshold deflection point to the right. Both these things mean you will be a fitter more effective cyclist. This workout will benefit all cyclists – road, mountain bikers and triathletes.
