Description of workout

May the force be with you! Train in this session at a lower cadence, increasing the torque to improve your climbing strength.

This workout is designed to build the muscular strength needed for those tough, grinding sections of a climb where the gradient kicks up and every pedal stroke feels like a battle.

Over time, those steep sections will start to feel a bit easier.
