6/9/2020 – BTC #10 – Standing Technique and Tempo Ladder

Welcome BTC members to week #10 of the BTC cycling program.

 

This week’s cycling workout returns to tempo intervals to build your stamina. Note: I have changed the warm up set for this workout to integrate standing technique as well as continuing to improve everyone’s cycling cadence. Moving forward, you will regularly see this warm up.

This week’s video, focuses on the warm-up sequence.

As a reminder, tempo ladders are excellent long workouts. Just extend the duration of each step of the ladder, and the number of times up & down the ladder to turn this into a long ride. Be sure to touch Sweet Spot or even threshold in your ladder workouts.

If you plan to execute this workout indoors on your trainer, I’d like you to execute these workouts in level mode or in course mode on a flat course. Do not execute this workout in ERG mode. This workout is also excellent outside! Focus on hitting the cadence requirements

Good luck with your workout!
