Going above and below functional threshold power (FTP) is a great way to increase the training impact of a workout - this is also known as 'over/unders.' Today's workout is the first of this plan's progressive over/under workout series. After a warm-up, we'll go into 2 sets of 6x (1min under and 30sec over), then cool down.

Training in the power zone just below your functional threshold power (FTP) is a super effective and efficient way to raise your fitness - this is also called the 'sweet spot zone. Today's workout is this plan's introduction to that zone. After a warm-up, we'll go into 2, 8min long sweet spot intervals with 3min of rest in between, then cool down.

Making workouts less monotonous and fun is a crucial aspect of indoor training. Over/unders is an excellent way to accomplish this. Today's workout is the next step in our over/under workout series. After a warm-up, we'll go into 2 sets of 6x (2min under and 30sec over), then cool down. We're pushing the under this week by another minute, but I know you are up for it!

Another key aspect of sweet spot training is spending a lot of quality time in the zone without building up undue fatigue. This allows for better repeatability and increased training density throughout a training block. With that said, we'll progress our sweet spot-focused workout today. After a warm-up, we'll go into 2, 10min long sweet spot intervals with 4min of rest in between, then cool down. This is 2min more than last week. You got this!

Sneaky, as the name would imply, is the kind of workout that 'sneaks' up on you, especially that last interval when the legs are a bit fatigued already. Today, after the warm up, we'll do 4 intervals consisting of 3min moderate, and 1 min hard, then cool down.
