Description of workout

HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) is on the agenda today. With this training, we work on tolerating the by-products of anaerobic work, such as lactate. We'll continue with the respiratory system, so I'll focus on breathing because you're definitely out of breath during this workout.
Key points
Breathing well
Usual cadence

Warm-up (20 min)
Easy three steps to 70% of FTP (cadence 100 rpm)

Main part - HIIT sessions
Six VO2 max intervals for better oxygen uptake. During the intervals, stay in the saddle at 100 rpm, and after that, in the recovery period, pedal easily and breathe well.

Cool down (18 min)
Easy ride at 90 - 100 rpm for better recovery.
