Slide Mountain
Description
Slide Mountain is 3x10-minute intervals at 85% FTP with 4-minute recoveries between intervals.
Goals
The primary aim of Tempo work is to improve your ability to resist fatigue at reasonably high power outputs over substantial lengths of time.
In other words, workouts like this are all about increasing your muscular endurance.
In doing so, you can improve your ability to climb faster and longer, face stiff winds without fading, and time trial more consistently over the entire course of an event.
Additionally, you have the option of targeting specific cadences with the aim of increasing your speed endurance as well as improving your ability to pedal properly during slower spins.
Cadence recommendations vary depending on the current drill, but riders choosing to omit the drills should aim for a spin between 85-95rpm.
