About this workout

Whorl consists of 75 minutes of aerobic Endurance work spent between 60-70% FTP. Optional form drills include form sprints, endurance-spinning intervals, and various pedalstroke drills. Goals Endurance workouts are aimed at improving your aerobic power production capabilities in a steady, low-stress manner. By training your endurance muscle fibers to better utilize oxygen to metabolize fat as fuel, your muscles can spare sugar stores for more intense efforts. This long/slow approach to fostering aerobic capabilities is the lighter, kinder alternative to high-intensity repeats, but both approaches target many of the same adaptations. Regarding the form drills, Whorl targets improvements in pedaling mechanics, leg speed and sprinting form, and improved pedal economy.
