0:00:10 0:00:08 Welcome to the fourth workout of this plan called Attaque.
0:01:00 0:00:08 Let's start with a ten-minute warm-up in three easy steps.
0:02:00 0:00:09 This workout is designed to improve your ability to generate the big watts needed for a attack.
0:03:00 0:00:08 The session consists of a hard effort with low or free cadence intervals.
0:04:00 0:00:06 You will have a total of seven intervals.
0:05:00 0:00:08 The intervals are divided into two parts, the first of which will be easier than the second.
0:06:00 0:00:08 All intervals will be around your FTP, so this will be a challenging and intense workout.
0:07:00 0:00:09 The first part is called "Power Efforts", where you'll push hard for 1 minute, around 60-70rpm.
0:08:00 0:00:10 If you are feeling good you can try and ramp up the final 12s similar to what you would do when sprinting to the finish line!
0:09:00 0:00:08 These high-intensity intervals are designed to boost your strength and anaerobic capacity.
0:09:40 0:00:08 Hope you are already warmed up as the first interval is about to start.
0:10:00 0:00:06 Reduce your cadence to 60-70rpm!
0:10:40 0:00:08 If you feel like it, you can sprint for the last 10 seconds!
0:11:05 0:00:05 The first one done! Increase your cadence to 90-100rpm!
0:12:00 0:00:07 You now have a three-minute rest period.
0:12:30 0:00:09 During each rest period, increase your cadence to around 95rpm to make the strengh intervals functional.
0:13:00 0:00:09 Recovery phases are incorporated to help you catch your breath, but at a high cadence to boost that training effect.
0:14:55 0:00:05 5...4...3...2...1...
0:15:00 0:00:07 The recommended cadence for these intervals is around 60-70rpm.
0:15:40 0:00:05 You are doing great!
0:17:00 0:00:07 Two intervals down and two more to go. Keep your cadence between 90-100rpm during the recovery
0:18:00 0:00:08 The next two intervals are the same as the two you have already ridden.
0:19:40 0:00:06 Another one is coming! (60-70rpm)
0:20:40 0:00:07 Just a few more seconds, you can do it!
0:21:30 0:00:07 Even if you are out of breath, do not forget to drink.
0:22:00 0:00:08 The best choice for this type of training is an ionic drink with plenty of minerals.
0:23:00 0:00:07 You have the last interval of the first part ahead of you!
0:24:00 0:00:08 Give it your all as you will have more time to rest after this interval.
0:25:00 0:00:05 GO!
0:25:30 0:00:05 Push harder!
0:26:30 0:00:05 Great job!
0:27:00 0:00:07 You have just completed the first part!
0:29:00 0:00:09 Pedal at this intensity for another minute before it drops and you will be able to rest further.
0:30:00 0:00:08 To make these intervals as functional as possible, focus on the correct pedalling technique at 90-100rpm.
0:30:30 0:00:07 Your pedalling should be steady and in full circles.
0:31:00 0:00:08 Your foot should be horizontal with the toe pointing forward, not sideways.
0:31:30 0:00:07 Pedalling should be relaxed, in circular movements, feet straight.
0:32:00 0:00:07 The second part of the training is just around the corner.
0:33:00 0:00:12 You will ride as in the first part, one minute at a low cadence and if you feel energetic you can sprint in the last ten seconds.
0:34:00 0:00:09 The only difference is that these intervals are at a higher resistance, so it will be more physically demanding.
0:34:55 0:00:05 Let's do it! Keep your cadence comfortable.
0:36:30 0:00:07 The first one is done and you handled it like a pro! Keep your cadence comfortable.
0:38:00 0:00:09 These intervals are much harder than the first ones. You have more time to recover between them.
0:40:00 0:00:12 Now increase your cadence to 90-100rpm.
0:45:00 0:00:05 GO!
0:45:30 0:00:07 You are doing great, keep it up!
0:47:00 0:00:08 It may hurt now, but think of how amazing you will feel after this training session. Keep your cadence comfortable.
0:50:00 0:00:08 You only have one interval to go, catch your breath and increase your cadence to 90-100rpm.
0:55:00 0:00:06 Give it your all!
0:55:40 0:00:06 Come on, come on!
0:56:30 0:00:07 Congratulations, you did it!
0:57:00 0:00:08 From such an intense workout, expect a bit of stiffness afterwards.
0:58:00 0:00:08 After an extremely intense workout, some recovery is important the day after.
1:00:00 0:00:09 A long cool-down is a great way to help your body recover better.
1:07:50 0:00:08 Hope to see you soon at the next training in this plan!
