WARM-UP
-Start with 10 minutes gradually increasing your power and cadence, then 3x 30 seconds @110+ RPM @115% FTP with 3 minutes active recovery to ready the legs, and finally 2 minutes free ride to ready the mind.

THE BAFFLING BEAU

GC Coaching's Ham Sandwich features sweet spot over/unders, with 30/30s "sandwiched" in between. The over/under intervals are alternate between 2 minutes @88% FTP and 30 seconds @110% FTP. The 30/30s up the ante a bit and alternate between 30 seconds @130% FTP and 30 seconds @50% FTP. Yes, there are rest breaks, but they are purposely short to keep the heart rate and metabolic demands up, and I dislike rest (kidding!) Better eat your sandwich quick before the bread gets soggy...

This is the first week for our Virtual Training Group, welcome! Also, welcome to everyone else who is joining! This workout is meant to start the base phase of your training, and ease you back into longer structured rides. So, if you are looking for a hammerfest, this isn't your ride. This workout features pedaling drills, position changes, cadence changes, and loads of time spent at Endurance and Tempo zones with minimal rest to really target that aerobic engine.

This workout is 90 minutes in duration, carries ~85 TSS, and has an IF of .74.

Description:

PEDALING DRILLS:
-We are working on your pedaling mechanics and basic skills here. These drills will help make you a more efficient rider, pedal with less wasted energy, and gain some "free" speed as you will be better able to put power through the entire pedal stroke instead of just the push down and pull up phases as most riders do. Imagine pedaling in circles rather than having 2 pistons for legs.
---
-Single Leg Drill - Unclip 1 leg and rest it on the trainer or let it hang off to the side. Continue to pedal with the 1 leg clipped in for 30 seconds. Really work on pedaling with no dead spots in the pedal stroke and maintaining the same cadence you had with 2 feet. After 30 seconds, clip both feet for 30 seconds, then unclip the opposite side performing 30 seconds on that leg. Perform 3 times each leg.
---
-Spin-ups - Really easy gear here. Spin your legs as fast as you can (ideally 110+ cadence) without your bum bouncing in the saddle or lurching back and forth. Strong core and bum planted! 30 seconds spin-ups, 30 seconds rest, 3 times.
------
MAIN SET:
-5x 10 minutes @Endurance and @Tempo zones, in pyramid format.
-We start at 75% FTP and top off at 85% FTP before going back down again.
-2 minutes rest between intervals here. Intentionally short to keep that heart rate elevated!
-We will be practicing changes in position, cadence, and sitting/standing throughout the intervals to break up the time, but also expose where your weaknesses are

GC Coaching's Spaded Sweetie starts off with a 15 minute warm up to prime the engines and ready mind. Then, we move into a spade interval set starting off very hard, but short, and gradually reducing the intensity while upping the time...Only to go back up again! From there, we will move into a progressive over/under sweet spot interva;;l featuring changes in cadence and intensity that culminates in a 1 minute FULL GAS effort! This is a tough workout, but feautures a lot of quality time at VO2 and Threshold and excellent training stress, all in an hour! You can do it!

GC Coaching's Uphill Battle starts off with 3 sets of 5 minutes right below Threshold (95% FTP) featuring a 30 second ramp-up to finish (from 100% FTP to 150% FTP). After these, we will be moving onto 2 sets of 30/30s (30 seconds work, 30 seconds rest). The first set is done at 130% FTP for the work interval and 70% FTP for the "rest". The second set ups the ante a bit to 140% FTP for the work interval and 60% FTP for the "rest". Do you have what it takes to finish it? I know you can!
