About this workout

Sweet Spottin' with a Group Ride or Solo - Don't worry about intervals today rather use the group to push you for a sweet spot effort. In other words, take pulls on the front @ Sweet Spot. - Hold wheels (riding with stronger riders) - Use the terrain to modulate your power in the sweet spot - You can also ride out in the wind (not tucked in a draft) to achieve sweet spot - Take Sweet Spot Pulls - Its OK if your power and HR is above or below Sweet Spot for short periods of time (< 60 seconds). What's most important is Normalized Power for entire group ride or length of time the group got going - Think in terms of 20- 60 minutes or more of a sustained effort in the sweet spot. You can 'check' how well you do by analyzing your power file and looking at the normalized power for the sections you rode at Sweet Spot. - Overall this should be 'moderately hard' effort with a TSS ~ 115 and also fun. Lots of freedom & flexibility - For more about Sweet Spotting during a group Ride, please read: - https://fascatcoaching.com/tips/group-ride-sweet-spot-training/
