45-minute cyclocross workout with 5 laps of varied tempo, threshold work, and power surges

Description

Bring the cyclocross course indoors! This 45-minute CX simulation captures the essence of cross racing with constant power variations, punchy surges for barriers and remounts, and technical sections with varying cadence. Five laps of hard work keep you in the sweet spot to threshold zone with short efforts above FTP, all calibrated below race pace for solid training stimulus without burning matches.
