– Rest* 4:00 between intervals –

• You can BikeErg @ 40-60%FTP20 to help with recovery between intervals Intent. Go HARD on the triplet on each interval (the 1st part is always for time and needs to be a sprint), then get straight on the bike and hold on to a fairly challenging pace (NOT faster than the prescribed % of FTP20). Note (pace). % are based on average watts from the Bike power profile (see session notes for options if not done this). The % won’t work for pace/1000m or calories/hr (so make sure to use watts).

Session overview. These are “high lactate intervals”. The triplet on each interval is a sprint that will bring your lactate levels up THEN you’ll get to enjoy that feeling while holding on to a good pace on the bike. You’re welcome.
Adaptation. Improve your aerobic capacity in a sports-specific context. Build your lactate tolerance and ability to endure after a hard first round in workouts.
Session RPE/Feel. 8-9/10, you should feel that you could MAYBE do one more interval at the end if you absolutely had to (maintaining your pace). These should feel hard right from the first interval. Do your best to always 1) sprint the triplet, 2) hold your pace on the bike.
Pace. Sprint the triplet!!! Use the % avg. watts based on your Bike power profile on the bike. IF you haven’t done the Bike profile you can just hold a pace you think you could do for around 20:00 (if just doing the bike).
