The sessions are focused on building your aerobic capacity, developing muscular endurance and then finish of with maximal aerobic power development.
Each session is based upon heart rate training zones, no power meter is required.
Included is the Turbo Threshold test that will let give you a bench mark for your training zones. It is recommended you repeat this test every 6-8 weeks so you can see your improvement and adjust the zones as needed.
