About this workout

Umbral is a classic threshold workout designed to push your sustainable power on group rides and time trials, featuring a main set of 5×4 minute efforts at 85% FTP. This session builds the endurance you need for maintaining pace during long climbs and race efforts while ensuring you recover adequately between intervals.
