Aerobic endurance workouts are aimed at improving your efficiency at lower intensity levels. Training your muscles to access fat as its main fuel source and preserve your precious glycogen stores for the finale. After warming up, you will be completing a series of long aerobic efforts with short recovery. Keep an eye on your heart rate response to the sustained power. Are you achieving the same heart rate in the third effort as the first?
Long, low intensity efforts aren't the only way to build endurance. By incorporating short surges into a steady effort you will increase your oxygen uptake and training stimulus. Completing a low intensity effort with a surge every 4 minutes should feel comfortable, but the constant change in power and surging, will provide you with big gains in endurance.
Tempo riding is a great way to improve your aerobic efficiency. Today's session consists of long tempo efforts. However, to focus more on muscular endurance, the target cadence starts at 75rpm and increases by 5rpm every 5min.
After completing a warm up that includes some high rpm sprints and a short threshold effort, the main sets today include short efforts at VO2max with short recovery. By completing short efforts above threshold you are able to accumulate more time in this area than if completed in longer efforts. The short recovery periods also increase oxygen uptake. Particularly towards the end of the set!

Increasing your anaerobic capacity will help you become a stronger cyclist. Anaerobic energy can be used for a short burst at a higher power output than your FTP. To improve your anaerobic capacity we need to produce high power efforts between a range of shorter durations. In this session we replicate AC intervals performed on a climb by adding a target rpm. The climb starts out steady enough, before ramping up to the finish with high power.

Endurance sessions are the ideal time to focus on improving your pedaling. Power is not the focus in this session. Throughout today's endurance ride we will be increasing the focus on your cardiovascular endurance, by challenging your ability to pedal at a high cadence. A fun session that includes a range of high rpm intervals.
The focus of today's session is to improve your ability to produce power. To be able to turn a big gear faster. By completing high power intervals with slightly less cadence, we increase the torque applied to the crank, boosting muscular endurance power. Two sets of short intervals with short recovery. However, the opening high power effort has a target cadence of 85rpm, before completing the remaining time at a self selected cadence.

The aim today is to both work on your anaerobic capacity, and to also improve your aerobic efficiency. Start out completing a series of AC intervals, before finishing with a sustained sweet spot effort. By depleting your carbohydrate stores with the AC intervals, the sweet spot effort may not be as comfortable as it should be!

An effective way to build your aerobic endurance is to perform repeated, short, high power efforts throughout a steady state effort. After building some fatigue with the opening endurance interval, the session finishes with three anaerobic capacity intervals. The more efficient you are in the endurance effort, the stronger you will be for the AC efforts.
The focus of today's session is to improve your ability to produce power. To be able to turn a big gear faster. By completing high power intervals with slightly less cadence, we increase the torque applied to the crank, boosting muscular endurance power.
Two different sets of work today. The first set involves longer steady efforts, while the second set involves high power shorter efforts. However, both sets open up with a surge interval at lower cadence.
There is no getting away from the benefit of longer steady efforts. To improve the stimulus of this type of training even further, these are the perfect prelude to finish with repeated, high power, short efforts.
Today we have two long sweet spot efforts finished with a series of high cadence, threshold intervals.
The aim today is to both work on your anaerobic capacity, and to also improve your aerobic efficiency. We do this by completing as series of AC intervals, before finishing with a sweet spot effort. By depleting your carbohydrate stores with the AC intervals, the sweet spot effort may not be as comfortable as it should be!
Today's session consists of 4 long cruise intervals. Cruise intervals are performed within Zone 4. However, we are starting with the hardest interval 1st, and decreasing the power slightly for each interval thereafter. Observe your heart rate across the 4 intervals. Is it decreasing along with the target power? Focus on controlled breathing and pedaling at a cadence similar to your time trial cadence.
Building endurance doesn't just involve long, low power efforts. In this session we challenge your aerobic energy pathways with a range of efforts.
