0:00:10 0:00:08 Welcome to the last training session of the fourth week, called Workout 3.
0:00:40 0:00:07 You have already done four similar training sessions.
0:01:00 0:00:08 With more intervals, today's workout is the most intense.
0:01:30 0:00:09 It includes intervals at various intensity levels all focused on proper pedal strokes and incorporates 1-legged drills.
0:02:00 0:00:07 Let's start with the warm-up first.
0:02:30 0:00:07 The warm-up consists of four one-legged drills.
0:03:00 0:00:08 Ride at a comfortable cadence throughout the warm-up.
0:03:30 0:00:08 Focus on maintaining a good posture.
0:04:00 0:00:07 Avoid gripping the handlebars too tightly.
0:05:00 0:00:09 For optimal performance, let your hands rest lightly on the handlebars and use your core to provide stability.
0:06:00 0:00:07 Let's start by pedalling with your right leg!
0:07:00 0:00:06 Now use both legs.
0:09:00 0:00:06 It's left leg time!
0:10:00 0:00:07 For the next two minutes pedal with both legs.
0:12:00 0:00:06 Once again it's time for the right leg!
0:15:00 0:00:06 Last time...left leg!
0:16:00 0:00:08 Now you have eight minutes before the first full cadence interval
0:17:00 0:00:08 You will have five equal intervals in the first part of the training.
0:18:00 0:00:07 Each interval starts with a one minute sprint.
0:19:00 0:00:08 You should remain seated and maintain a stable, non-rocking position on the bike.
0:20:00 0:00:08 Your goal is to pedal at the highest possible cadence and give it your all.
0:21:00 0:00:10 Your primary focus should be on your legs, and you should be firmly seated on the bike, minimising any lateral movement.
0:22:00 0:00:08 After the sprint, the resistance drops slightly followed by a further decrease in resistance.
0:23:00 0:00:08 You should be warmed up already, so we can move on to the intervals.
0:24:00 0:00:05 SPRINT!
0:25:30 0:00:08 Now you can ride at a cadence that is comfortable for you.
0:26:00 0:00:07 This part may hurt, but it should be sustainable.
0:29:00 0:00:05 Well done!
0:30:00 0:00:08 Do not forget to drink enough! Dehydration can reduce performance.
0:31:55 0:00:06 It's time to sprint!
0:33:10 0:00:06 The sprint part is done.
0:35:00 0:00:07 Ride at a sustainable pace until the interval is complete.
0:38:00 0:00:06 Second interval down, three to go!
0:39:00 0:00:08 When riding at high intensity, it's important to have a good posture for optimal efficiency.
0:39:50 0:00:07 Go for the next sprint! Smash it!
0:42:00 0:00:05 You're doing great!
0:44:00 0:00:06 Hold on for a few more seconds!
0:45:10 0:00:05 Amazing job!
0:47:00 0:00:08 Even if you are out of breath, do not forget to drink.
0:48:55 0:00:05 5...4...3...2...1...
0:51:00 0:00:06 You are unstoppable!
0:54:00 0:00:06 Last interval ahead!
0:55:55 0:00:06 Go ALL OUT!
0:59:00 0:00:07 Keep pedalling until the last second!
1:01:10 0:00:05 Well done!
1:02:00 0:00:07 You have just completed the first part of the training.
1:02:30 0:00:08 In the second set of intervals you will be working with changing cadence.
1:03:00 0:00:08 The second part consists of four high intensity intervals.
1:03:30 0:00:08 After each interval, the resistance decreases, but only to 70%.
1:04:00 0:00:08 So you will probably be out of breath the whole time in the second part.
1:04:30 0:00:08 Keep your cadence between 70 and 100rpm for the intense part of the interval.
1:05:00 0:00:08 As the resistance goes down, you're going to slow down your cadence too.
1:05:50 0:00:07 Are you ready? Let's get started!
1:07:00 0:00:06 The first one is done!
1:07:30 0:00:07 Keep your cadence between 80-90rpm.
1:11:10 0:00:06 Push harder!
1:12:00 0:00:06 Great job! Halfway there!
1:16:00 0:00:06 Push! Push! Push!
1:18:00 0:00:07 Remember to drink enough between hard stretches!
1:20:00 0:00:06 Last interval ahead!
1:25:00 0:00:06 Last minute!
1:26:00 0:00:06 Congratulation, you did it!
1:27:00 0:00:08 Now all you have left is the cooldown period to gradually lower your heart rate.
1:28:00 0:00:08 Give your body a proper rest and see you in week five!
