Sunday Smart-Trainer Session: RAMP Test Tempo Session #1

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.

Tempo Intervals

Friday Fartlek Run: Jamie’s Tempo Run Session C

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.
