Sunday Smart-Trainer Session: The Priest

“The Priest” is specifically designed for building power and endurance through a combination of threshold and VO2 max intervals. It’s a popular choice for cyclists looking to improve their performance in races or long rides. The workout focuses on a structured approach to training, utilising different workout types to target specific physiological adaptations. Threshold efforts to improve lactate tolerance and endurance; and VO2 max efforts aim to increase oxygen uptake and power output. Although this workout is best suited to road cyclists (particularly criterium events), it can prove valuable as part of a general fitness phase for all cyclists, whether road cyclist, mountain biker and triathlete.

Dermott Hayes’ Endurance Brick #1 pairs disciplined aerobic riding with controlled progression on the run. After a steady 40km ride at Level II, the challenge is shifting gears smoothly and building through 2km at Level III before pressing into Level IV — finishing strong without forcing it. A simple structure that strengthens both your engine and your composure.

Sunday Smart-Trainer Session: Ray’s Sustained Hill Reps E

I needed a sequence of challenging hill sessions for an athlete wanting to improve their time up Alpe du Zwift. This is the final in the series series of workouts. Following these sessions, you will boost your FTP and your ability to sustain your effort up a climb. These sessions are not just useful for Alpe du Zwift, but also hilly events like the Lake Taupo Cycle Classic or Five Passes Tour here in New Zealand.

Your ability to ride at Threshold will have direct influence on how fast your bike leg of any Olympic Distance or Ironman 70.3 triathlon will be.
