About this workout

This workout focuses on tempo efforts with low cadence drills, where you'll tackle 4 sets of 5 minutes at 90% FTP, building aerobic durability and strength for those long climbs. It's a solid mid-week staple that primes you for sustained group ride paces without overcooking your legs.
