Welcome to another workout in the Zwift Pro Training Camp series. This is a TT specific workout, but one that would benefit anyone looking to race, almost any discipline really. We will be doing a nice little warm up and then getting into 4, 4 minute blocks just into zone 5.
For this workout we will be working some zone 2 blocks. This likely won't be your hardest workout of the week, but I'd argue it will be one of the most important ones!
For this workout we are going to do some cadence work. Most of the time riders think of cadence work as an easier workout. But I will say, today's workout is not overly easy with the focus on higher and lower cadences.
It's no secret that this team is a force to be reckoned with in the women's peloton. With athletes like Marianne Vos, Anna Henderson, and Coryn Labecki highlighting the team, there's no wonder why! Today we will be doing a crucial workout for the team, and the type of workout that is crucial for all cyclists, a recovery ride! This ride is cadence focused, so don't forget to bring your RPM's!
Today's workout will sting a bit, but is the type of workout that is shown to increase a rider's threshold. VO2 efforts sit within Zone 5 which is the zone that impacts aerobic capacity. Today we will do 6x2 minute efforts that will keep you right in this zone.
