This program is designed to improve VO2max, aerobic endurance, anaerobic power and pedaling technique. Some of these intervalls is done at extreme low/high rpm. If you are not used to this, it can be painful for knees and other joints. Be careful and listen to your body!
Do each workout two times a week before hitting next one. But not to days in a row. Do no more than 2 of these workouts in one week! Every workout is 60 min. To get result of this ride, it is essential that training is done at the right level (correct FTP and reliable power meters) and combined with other training. If you are aerobic underdeveloped for cycling you may need do decrease your FTP-settings. If you are aerobic fit for cycling and your endurance is good you may increase your FTP-setting to get more effect out of this session.
This workout is designed by Mattias Lundqvist. Founder and owner at Aktivitus Testcenter & Coaching. Mattias has 25 years of experience from cycleracing and training. Road, cyclocross and Mountainbike. Mattias is also a Zwiftracer at highest competition level.

Two blocks of serious hard intervalls for experienced cyclists. First block aims to stress and developing your strength and endurance by doing work with high and low rpm just below your anaerobic treashold (approx. your FTP). Second block focus is VO2max. Note: First priority is keeping the right rpm. Stay seated and relaxed. Dont be dissapointed if not managing the target power. Not every one can do it...

Two blocks of serious hard intervalls for experienced cyclists. First block aims to stress and developing your strength and endurance by doing work with low rpm just at or over your anaerobic treshold (approx. your FTP). Second block focus is short power efforts with relative long rest in one long block. This is often more effective than just riding near FTP when it comes to push your FTP higher. Note: First priority is keeping the right rpm in the first block. Stay seated and relaxed. Dont be dissapointed if not managing the target power. Not every one can do it...
THIS WORKOUT IS A RESULT OF TESTING AND COACING MORE THAN 10 000 ATHLETES. IT WORKS REALLY WELL AND IT PAYS RESULT DOING IT ON WEEKELY BASIS.
- Threshold, VO2max & lactic tolerance - Pedal efficiency - 50-110 rpm - 50-130% FTP - 60 minutes - Physical target is threshold endurance and tolerance. - If this workout is impossible for you, do more intervalls above anarobic threshold. - Object: Stay still on the bike while going on low cadence, no unnecessary movement in upperbody. Check your self in a mirror for direct feedback! - All riding done in saddle!
