We’ll be bringing you a fresh new workout every monday in our new CYCLING WORKOUT OF THE WEEK series – we’ll explain the benefits of sessions and provide an outdoor alternative targeting the same systems.
Although the efforts in this cycling workout are only very short – at just one minute long – these will feel very hard and near maximal. Be prepared to dig deep, but don’t be tempted to go too hard early on as you’ll want to still be able to maintain the same output in the last interval.
This is a particularly useful cycling workout for those targeting shorter hill climb events where glycolytic muscle fibres will be the primary source of power. And also for longer efforts, such as at the end of a road race, where you want to catch everyone off guard a bit and go for that long drawn out sprint effort.
