8-week HIGH DENSITY BLOCK TRAINING - Threshold Improvement
High Density Block Training (HDBT) is a new way of dosing a specific type of training. High dose of interval training followed by a few easy days can provide superior training effects and adaptations.
This kind of approach be used in classic preparation or when we need a bit of boost in short period of time.
Start training with 5-10min warm up in zones 1/2.
----------
First part of the training is 20min easy endurance ride in zone 2 to get us ready for interval work.
Main part of the training is 5x6min FTP intervals Rest between intervals is 4min long and is done either like active or passive recovery.
Intervals should be done on terrain were you will be racing. (uphill, flat, rolling).
-----------
The rest of the training is done in zone 2 with short cool down in the end.

Nice and easy endurance ride. Intensity should be low. Bottom half of zone 2 is enough. Try not to make training too long.

We are working with elite, juniors, amateurs and recreational cyclists and runners. In 2017 we had the pleasure to work with UWCT TimeTrial World champion and three national champions in RR and TT.
