Description of workout

The warm-up of 14 minutes includes a couple of sprint openers to boost the blood flow to the muscles. A 20-minute tempo block follows this, and then a cool down.

Tempo riding is the highest intensity you can sustain for a prolonged period without accumulating excessive levels of fatigue in the legs, and it is the upper limit of your aerobic system expenditure. Tempo is generally 76–90% of your FTP (Functional Threshold Power).

0:00:10 0:00:08 Welcome to today's workout called Tempo Blocks – Endurance Builder.
0:01:00 0:00:07 Today's workout is divided into two parts.
0:02:00 0:00:07 The first part will be a warm-up to prepare you for the tempo block in the second part.
0:03:00 0:00:08 The warm-up of 14 minutes includes a couple of sprint openers to boost the blood flow to the muscles.
0:04:00 0:00:07 These sprints will increase in resistance with each one.
0:05:00 0:00:07 Pedal at a cadence that is comfortable for you.
0:08:00 0:00:08 When the sprint interval starts, spin your legs as much as possible.
0:09:00 0:00:09 Don't hold back, give every sprint your best effort as there will be long enough rest periods afterwards.
0:09:50 0:00:08 Stay in a stable position and get ready to sprint!
0:10:00 0:00:05 GO!!!
0:10:30 0:00:07 The first sprint is over, two more to go.
0:11:00 0:00:08 Now just spin your legs easily, so you will be ready for the upcoming sprint.
0:12:00 0:00:08 The upcoming sprint is at 125% of your FTP, 10% higher than the previous sprint.
0:13:10 0:00:06 SPRINT!
0:14:00 0:00:08 These intervals are short but still physically demanding.
0:14:10 0:00:07 But you are doing a great job!
0:15:00 0:00:08 A few minutes' rest and then the final sprint is on.
0:16:15 0:00:06 Let's go for it!
0:17:00 0:00:07 Well done! All sprints completed!
0:19:00 0:00:08 Now you have a few steps with changing resistance before the tempo block.
0:19:30 0:00:08 In this part you will be recovering, but on a resistance that will not allow your heart rate to drop too much.
0:25:00 0:00:07 You should keep a steady pace in the tempo block.
0:25:30 0:00:09 When riding at a steady pace, it is important to maintain the correct riding position to avoid injury.
0:26:00 0:00:08 Focus on maintaining proper posture and ensure that you are sitting correctly on the bike.
0:26:30 0:00:07 Avoid gripping the handlebars too tightly.
0:27:00 0:00:10 For optimal performance, let your hands rest lightly on top of the handlebars and allow your core and body to provide stability.
0:29:00 0:00:08 The tempo block will start in a few minutes.
0:31:30 0:00:07 Are you ready? Let's get started!
0:33:00 0:00:07 Stay seated and keep a steady pace.
0:36:00 0:00:07 Tempo is a very useful zone to train in.
0:37:00 0:00:10 Tempo riding is the highest intensity you can sustain for a prolonged period of time without accumulating excessive levels of fatigue.
0:37:30 0:00:08 This is why it's ideal to include this type of training into your schedule at least once a week.
0:41:30 0:00:06 Halfway there!
0:45:00 0:00:07 Stay hydrated: Drink regularly!
0:45:10 0:00:07 An electrolyte drink with plenty of minerals is the best option.
0:48:00 0:00:07 You're making progress every second - keep it up!
0:49:30 0:00:07 Just hold on for the last two minutes!
0:51:25 0:00:05 5...4...3...2...1...
0:52:00 0:00:06 Great job!
0:53:00 0:00:08 Ride this section at a relaxed cadence that is comfortable for you.
0:55:00 0:00:07 The longer the cool down, the better your recovery will be.
