Geiger +2
Description
Geiger +2 is 5x12-minute efforts spent in the Sweet Spot, 88-94% FTP, with short, 4-minute recoveries between efforts.
Goals
Sweet Spot intervals are all about furthering muscular endurance and enhancing aerobic efficiency.
Additional, related benefits include improved sugar storage in the muscles, better utilization of fat for fuel, a higher capacity for more intense workouts later on, and increased power output at moderate , largely aerobic intensities.
Try to keep your spin above 85rpm unless the efficiency drills specify different cadences.
