Workout #3: Bike

 

Workout #4: Bike

Planned Time: 2:00:00

WU: Warm up for 20+ minutes of riding, starting out at PW:Level 1 or HR: Zone 1 and moving into PW: Level 2 or HR: Zone 2. During warm-up completed 3 x 1 minute efforts of “fast pedaling” at a 110 RPM cadence or above. MS#1 – Once warmed up, completed a 5 minute effort at your perceived threshold. This is a hard effort but not all out. Should be hard to breathe but not leave you breathless. Once complete, ride in your PW: Level 1 or HR: Zone 1 for 10 minutes, spinning and recovering then move to MS#2 MS#2 – TEST. Now that you are fully open and warmed up, let’s go for a killer 20 minute test result. Find a long stretch of road or preferably a low grade climb where you can ride for 20 minute without interruption. Set your lap function and KILL IT! Really go hard here, but don’t start too hard! A secret tip: hold back a little bit in the first 2-3 minutes then really push! Let your body prepare to handle the lactate generated by this type of effort. Make sure you are recording power, heart rate and or distance so we can measure results. CD: Spin for 15 easy minutes to shake off the pain! The average Heart Rate for the last 5minutes of the test is your “Threshold Heart Rate” used to set your zones. If you have a power meter, then take the average wattage of the 20 minute test and multiply by .95, to get your threshold power. Note: if you already know your FTP, then do this workout instead. ======================= WU:15 minutes steady MS: 5 x 1 minute fast pedals- over 110rpm with 1 minute recovery. Then do 3 x 15 minutes at 88-93% of threshold, right in your sweet spot. Rest for 5 minutes easy between each. Then finish with 45 minutes at 76-80% of FTP. Nice tempo, but not hard. CD: 15 minutes.

Workout #5: Bike

Planned Time: 1:30:00

WU: 10 Minutes working Endurance (PW:Level 2 / HR: Zone 2 / PE: 4-5) with 2 x 1 minute Fast Pedals to wake up legs MS: Today is simple, ride prescribed time in the ENDurance Zone (PW: Level 2 / HR: Zone 2 / PE: 4-5). Vary cadence throughout ride and work on pedaling form. Practice “coming over the top” and “pulling through the bottom” of the pedal. Enjoy the day!! Terrain: Flat to Rolling; Cadence: 85 – 105.
