Description of workout

Set a Tempo pace at a steady and sustainable speed in your next TT, and shine confidently in your ability to put down the power from start to finish.

Tempo endurance training is a crucial component of a cyclist's training regimen, focusing on sustained efforts at a challenging yet manageable intensity to improve endurance and efficiency on the bike.

The primary goal is to improve muscular endurance, allowing you to sustain a relatively high speed for longer without fatigue.

TIP: If you are a Time Trialist, you can use your TT bike to allow your muscles to get used to the position on the bike.

0:00:10 0:00:08 Welcome to the second workout of this plan called Tempo Lifter
0:01:00 0:00:08 Today's workout focuses on sustained effort at a challenging yet manageable intensity to improve endurance.
0:02:00 0:00:08 The primary goal is to improve muscular endurance and metabolic efficiency.
0:03:00 0:00:09 This workout also helps to increase your lactate threshold...
0:03:10 0:00:10 The lactate threshold is the intensity at which lactate starts to accumulate in the blood faster than it can be removed.
0:05:00 0:00:08 Today's workout starts with two pyramids of increasing intensity.
0:06:00 0:00:07 Maintain a cadence that is comfortable for you.
0:07:00 0:00:06 The intensity has just begun to increase.
0:09:00 0:00:06 First pyramid down!
0:09:10 0:00:08 There is no time to rest. The resistance is increasing again!
0:12:10 0:00:08 Catch your breath and prepare for the intensity to come!
0:13:00 0:00:07 A four minute interval at 90% awaits you!
0:16:00 0:00:06 GO! GO! GO!
0:18:00 0:00:07 You managed that interval like a pro!
0:19:00 0:00:09 This was the highest intensity of this workout, now you will be riding at a tempo endurance pace.
0:20:00 0:00:08 The intensity will slowly increase over the next twenty minutes.
0:21:00 0:00:08 The highest intensity will be 76%, so it should be sustainable pace.
0:24:00 0:00:06 Do not forget: Drink enough!
0:24:30 0:00:07 An electrolyte drink with plenty of minerals is the best option.
0:27:00 0:00:07 You are already pedalling at 66% of your FTP.
0:30:00 0:00:08 Imagine you are riding a time trial, so you have to keep a steady pace!
0:34:00 0:00:08 If you will be able to complete this entire workout, it will help improve your performance.
0:34:10 0:00:06 So keep going!
0:36:50 0:00:08 Maintain this intensity for another two minutes!
0:39:00 0:00:07 Now you have a well-deserved five minutes' rest.
0:40:00 0:00:08 During rest periods, it's recommended to increase your cadence.
0:40:30 0:00:08 By increasing your cadence, you are helping your muscles to relax.
0:42:00 0:00:08 After this rest period there will be another block of increasing intensity.
0:43:00 0:00:08 There will be a higher intensity interval in the middle of this block.
0:46:00 0:00:07 Focus on correct posture, no unnecessary movement!
0:49:40 0:00:08 Take a deep breath and get ready for the start of the interval.
0:51:00 0:00:07 You are doing great. Keep it up!
0:53:00 0:00:08 The interval is over! Now keep pedalling at this pace.
0:56:00 0:00:08 Remember to take small sips to stay hydrated.
0:58:00 0:00:08 Try to concentrate on pedalling at a steady pace and keeping a good posture.
0:58:10 0:00:08 Every unnecessary movement can cost you the energy you need.
1:02:00 0:00:07 Great job! You're done with all the intensity.
1:04:00 0:00:08 To cool down properly, pedal easy at a cadence that is comfortable for you.
1:06:00 0:00:12 After your workout, consume carbohydrates and protein to replenish your glycogen stores. This will help your muscles recover.
1:07:00 0:00:08 See you soon at the sprint training. That is next on the schedule!
