The Goal Of This Session: is to develop muscular strength.

This 4 week block is all about building that aerobic base. Sessions will be hard work but not necessarily be hammering your anaerobic system.

10min WU
6x 3min Z5 Intervals
5x 2min Recovery
5min CD
Stay seated throughout

In this session you’ll work on leg strength by dropping your cadence, forcing you to push harder on the pedals to hit the required power or heart rate.
This will encourage your leg muscles to adapt and grow stronger, and will pay dividends out on the road when climbing and you’re required to drop your cadence,
as it will increase the amount of torque you are able to produce.
