Workout Week 1 - The Breakaway- Warm Up: 10 minutes
- Set: Ride 2 to 3 minutes as hard as you can, then more slowly for 5 minutes to recover; complete six times no more than twice per week.
- What It'll Do: This workout is good for increasing VO2 Max, which will benefit your time trialing and improve endurance needed to make a move for the breakaway.
- Terrain: Choose a moderate to steep hill
- Warm Up: 10 to 15 minutes
- Set: Climb for 1 minute seated, coast down to the bottom of the hill and repeat for another minute, this time standing. Efforts should be as hard as you can ride, saving only enough to finish the set. Complete six intervals (three sitting, three standing), and do two sets.
- What It'll Do: improve climbing speed and power
- Terrain: best to do on flats in an area with no traffic lights, a bike path or a stationary trainer, avoid coasting at all costs
- Warm Up: 10 to 15 minutes
- Set: Begin with two 10-minute efforts with 5 minutes rest in between. Aim for even effort throughout the set. When the 10-minute efforts become easier, move up to two 15-minute efforts. Once you can sustain two 20-minute all-out efforts, you're ready for race day.
- What It'll Do: This is the classic interval used to improve the 40K time trial.
- Terrain: any terrain other than steep climbs
- Warm Up: 10 to 15 minutes
- Set: Sprint for 30 seconds, and follow with easy spinning at a high tempo for 30 seconds. Repeat 10 to 15 times and complete two to four sets, with 5 to 7 minutes for recovery between sets (time between sets should be based on your level of fitness).
- What It'll Do: perfect for building sustained power needed for sprinting
