Summary

Includes Structured Workouts

This 4 week module using standard periodization focuses on increasing your VO2max by training at the edge of the aerobic/anaerobic threshold early in the week while opening up some specificity later in the week followed by threshold work. Each week builds upon the last and uses progressive overload theory.

4 intervals sessions, 2 easier sessions, and 1 rest day per week are ideally executed using power but can utilize HR as well with some instruction.

Option to substitute a challenging group ride or low-priority race or event on the weekend as well for the advanced cyclist.

Must know your FTP to complete this module.
