| 0:00:10 | 0:00:08 | Welcome to the ninth session of this plan called Race Fitness simulation. |
| 0:01:00 | 0:00:07 | Hope you enjoyed the whole SNDC Endurance Training Plan. |
| 0:02:00 | 0:00:07 | So let's do the last training of this plan! |
| 0:03:00 | 0:00:09 | As you are used to from previous sessions, we will start with four steps as a warm-up. |
| 0:04:00 | 0:00:08 | This will help you to get your breath going before the higher intensity parts. |
| 0:05:00 | 0:00:07 | You have a total of five intervals. |
| 0:06:00 | 0:00:08 | They will be in the range of 88 % to 96 % of your FTP speed. |
| 0:07:00 | 0:00:08 | They will become shorter and shorter as they increase in intensity. |
| 0:08:00 | 0:00:08 | You should be warmed up enough by now, so let's start with the first interval. |
| 0:10:00 | 0:00:08 | This interval is 12 minutes in length, so don't overdo it at the beginning. |
| 0:11:00 | 0:00:08 | If you want to focus on strength training, reduce your cadence to 60rpm. |
| 0:12:00 | 0:00:08 | Otherwise, keep your pedalling frequency in a comfortable range. |
| 0:15:00 | 0:00:07 | You're already halfway through the interval. |
| 0:16:00 | 0:00:08 | At this level of intensity you should feel out of breath, but not breathless. |
| 0:18:00 | 0:00:08 | You will have some time to rest in between the intervals. |
| 0:19:00 | 0:00:08 | You will have the rest period if you maintain your pace for another two minutes. |
| 0:21:30 | 0:00:08 | Good job, now you have 4 minutes to have a bit of a rest. |
| 0:23:00 | 0:00:08 | Engage your core and pedal in full circles. Your second block on the way! |
| 0:24:00 | 0:00:08 | The next interval will last ten minutes, but be prepared for the higher resistance. |
| 0:25:00 | 0:00:05 | GO! |
| 0:26:00 | 0:00:06 | Great pace, keep it up! |
| 0:28:00 | 0:00:08 | Today's session will develop your power output at your race pace. |
| 0:28:30 | 0:00:10 | So this is not a workout for everyone... |
| 0:28:40 | 0:00:08 | ...but you are doing a very good job of dealing with the intensity. |
| 0:30:00 | 0:00:07 | Last five minutes ahead! |
| 0:34:30 | 0:00:06 | 30 seconds... |
| 0:35:30 | 0:00:07 | Two intervals down, three to go. |
| 0:37:00 | 0:00:07 | You are almost halfway to the finish line! |
| 0:38:00 | 0:00:08 | The last intervals are always the most painful, but you can do it! |
| 0:38:30 | 0:00:07 | Let's go smash another interval! |
| 0:40:00 | 0:00:08 | Keep your body stable and engage your core muscles. |
| 0:41:00 | 0:00:08 | The resistance is gradually increasing. This will bring you closer to the race pace. |
| 0:42:00 | 0:00:09 | These intervals optimise your lactate metabolism, which will help you improve your performance. |
| 0:43:00 | 0:00:07 | You are half way through this interval. |
| 0:45:00 | 0:00:06 | Keep up the good work! |
| 0:46:00 | 0:00:05 | You've got this! |
| 0:47:30 | 0:00:07 | Spin out your legs for the next four minutes. |
| 0:48:00 | 0:00:08 | Don't forget to replenish all the water and minerals lost through sweating. |
| 0:49:00 | 0:00:08 | This is the perfect time to drink an ionic drink or plain water when you're resting. |
| 0:50:00 | 0:00:08 | Your legs may burn as the resistance will already be at 94% of your FTP. |
| 0:50:55 | 0:00:01 | 5... |
| 0:50:56 | 0:00:01 | 4... |
| 0:50:57 | 0:00:01 | 3... |
| 0:50:58 | 0:00:01 | 2... |
| 0:50:59 | 0:00:01 | 1... |
| 0:52:00 | 0:00:08 | Keep your breathing steady and breathe both through your nose and mouth. |
| 0:53:00 | 0:00:06 | You're doing great! |
| 0:54:00 | 0:00:06 | Push hard! |
| 0:55:00 | 0:00:07 | Maintain the pace for another two minutes! |
| 0:57:30 | 0:00:10 | These four minutes of recovery will allow your heart rate to drop and prepare you for your last four minute block. |
| 0:58:00 | 0:00:08 | In your last high-intensity block, don't forget to drink. |
| 0:59:00 | 0:00:08 | An electrolyte drink will replenish lost salts and minerals due to fluid loss. |
| 1:00:30 | 0:00:06 | Let's start the last block. |
| 1:01:00 | 0:00:05 | Go for it! |
| 1:03:00 | 0:00:06 | You get better every second! |
| 1:04:00 | 0:00:06 | Last minute ahead! |
| 1:05:30 | 0:00:06 | Great job! Well done! |
| 1:06:00 | 0:00:08 | All the intensity is done, but the training is not over yet. |
| 1:08:00 | 0:00:08 | Now you can enjoy a cooldown that is just as important as the intervals themselves. |
| 1:09:00 | 0:00:06 | Pedal easy for the next six minutes. |
| 1:10:00 | 0:00:08 | Your cool down will flush out the lactic acid and improve your ability to recover. |
| 1:11:00 | 0:00:08 | Enjoy it and use the time to relax after a hard training session. |
| 1:12:00 | 0:00:07 | As you rode at race pace today, take a few days off. |
| 1:14:00 | 0:00:08 | Recover well and looking forward to the next workout with you! |
