Description

A progressive power builder that ramps you up through threshold and into VO2max territory. After a thorough 10-minute warm-up, you'll hit a threshold effort, settle into tempo, then tackle 4 demanding 5-minute intervals at 150% FTP with recovery periods. This workout builds high-end power and mental toughness.
