Winter means riding your bike indoors (mostly).\u00a0<\/span>Face it, g<\/span>etting on your bike and staring at the wall, television or<\/span>\u00a0an<\/span>\u00a0interactive indoor riding platform like Zwift<\/span>\u00a0can get boring<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>Incorporating some intervals and structured workouts is a great way to keep you sane while working towards your cycling goals. There are an infinite number of workouts that can be done on the bike and there is\u00a0<\/span>really no<\/span>\u00a0wrong way to train<\/span>. It\u00a0<\/span>can be argued that there are\u00a0<\/span>a number of<\/span>\u00a0cycling pillars that<\/span>\u00a0you can work on\u00a0<\/span>by doing specific work<\/span>\u00a0riding indoors<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>T<\/span>he best place to start is to assess weaknesses that you know you have on the bike. If you struggle on the hills or\u00a0<\/span>to maintain<\/span>\u00a0consistent speed or power<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>the workouts below will help address those issues. I<\/span>f you are already a competent \u201cpro\u201d on the\u00a0<\/span>bike<\/span>\u00a0then challenge yourself with these workouts and come back to them as the winter progresses\u00a0<\/span>to\u00a0<\/span>see if you have improved.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

20-minute drill<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

The first workout on the docket it called the 20<\/span>–<\/span>minute drill.\u00a0<\/span>A go-to set my dad developed while he was still racing<\/span>\u00a0(he created the set while balancing pro racing and journalism school)<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>I have been familiar with this\u00a0<\/span>set for as long as I\u2019ve been\u00a0<\/span>a serious triathlete and cyclist.\u00a0<\/span>It is\u00a0<\/span>a great set to do if you are crunched for time. You can get this done in 30 minutes if you want,<\/span>\u00a0but<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>I personally find the workout a bit more enjoyable when you can carve away 40 minutes to allow for 10 minutes of warm up and the same for cooling down. This workout is quite simple and can be adjusted or changed to fit any kind of time length you want to push for. Once you get warmed up the workout goes as follows<\/span>:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • 3 minutes hard, 2 minutes easy<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 4 minutes hard, 1 minutes easy<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 5 minutes hard, 1 or 2 minutes easy<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • 3 or 4 minutes hard<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The cool thing about this workout is it can be incorporated into any training schedule, if you have race tempo, use this workout to push the upper boundaries of what you want to hit on the bike. If it is V<\/span>O<\/span>2 or threshold work, use the hard sections of this workout to try and hit some PB\u2019s. I find this workout to be a great addition to weekly training. Try this\u00a0<\/span>four<\/span>\u00a0times over a month and see if you were able to improve\u00a0<\/span>your power,\u00a0<\/span>anaerobic\u00a0<\/span>threshold<\/span>\u00a0or other metrics.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Cadence\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Efforts<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

      The second workout is geared around cadence. The speed you spin your legs is an important aspect of cycling<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0and many triathletes favour\u00a0<\/span>a\u00a0<\/span>snail<\/span>–<\/span>like cadence. While I am certainly\u00a0<\/span>guilty of often\u00a0<\/span>pushing a large gear at 70<\/span>\u00a0to\u00a0<\/span>80\u00a0<\/span>RPM<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0I do like ramping up my leg speed with cadence<\/span>–<\/span>specific work\u00a0<\/span>designed to\u00a0<\/span>focus on leg speed and\u00a0<\/span>see what kind of power numbers I can hit at\u00a0<\/span>different\u00a0<\/span>cadences. For this workout it is important to warm up\u00a0<\/span>for 10<\/span>\u00a0to\u00a0<\/span>15 minutes<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0incorporating at least one<\/span>\u00a0set of\u00a0<\/span>5<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>x<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>1 minute<\/span>\u00a0progression of cadences starting at 80 and climbing to 120<\/span>\u00a0RPM<\/span>. D<\/span>uring th<\/span>e<\/span>\u00a0warmup<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0the only focus should be on your<\/span>\u00a0pedaling<\/span>\u00a0\u2013 maintain the rpms and making sure you don\u2019t have\u00a0<\/span>any\u00a0<\/span>\u201c<\/span>dead spots<\/span>\u201d \u2013 times when you\u2019re not maintaining pressure on the pedals \u2013 during\u00a0<\/span>your pedal stroke. Once you are warm the workout goes as follows.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      3<\/span>\u00a0X<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      • 1 min @ 90 RPM<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
      • 1 min @ 100 RPM<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\n
          \n
        • One gear harder<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
        • 1 min @ 100 RPM<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\n
            \n
          • One gear harder<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
          • 1 min @ 100 RPM<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\n
              \n
            • One gear harder<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
            • 1\u00a0<\/span>m<\/span>in @ 100 RPM<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\n
                \n
              • One gear harder<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
              • 2<\/span>\u00a0to\u00a0<\/span>5 min easy<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                The g<\/span>oal in this section is to get comfortable pushing harder and harder gears<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>at the same cadence. By trying to hold this 100 RPM cadence at different gears<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0you will see power,\u00a0<\/span>speed<\/span>\u00a0and heart rate increase<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                2<\/span>\u00a0to\u00a0<\/span>3 sets of<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                5x<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                  \n
                • 30 sec<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0on 30 sec<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0off<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  During this section of the workout<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0the goal is to\u00a0<\/span>do\u00a0<\/span>these hard 30 second<\/span>\u00a0intervals<\/span>\u00a0at an all<\/span>–<\/span>out pace<\/span>. G<\/span>ear selection is important as you want to get on top of the gear as fast as possible<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>Try them seated or standing<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>with the\u00a0<\/span>main focus<\/span>\u00a0being trying to reach at least 90 RPM\u2019s.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                  2 sets of<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                    \n
                  • 2 min @ 80 RPM<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
                  • 2 min @ 90 RPM<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
                  • 1 min @ 100 RPM<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                    Focus\u00a0<\/span>on the cadence. Adjust your power\/speed accordingly\u00a0<\/span>in order to<\/span>\u00a0hit the desired\u00a0<\/span>RPM<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                    Warm down<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                    Time Trial<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

                    The final workout on the docket is less a workout and more a suffer fest.\u00a0<\/span>You use these workouts to\u00a0<\/span>gauge peak power and heart rate<\/span>\u00a0\u2013 basically,\u00a0<\/span>you\u2019re<\/span>\u00a0getting a feel for your top-end ability.\u00a0<\/span>I have done time trial \u201cassessments\u201d\u00a0<\/span>for as short as a few seconds and\u00a0<\/span>as long as<\/span>\u00a0an hour. Five-<\/span>minute\u00a0<\/span>(or less)\u00a0<\/span>time trials will give you an idea of what you might be capable of at\u00a0<\/span>an\u00a0<\/span>all<\/span>–<\/span>out effort.\u00a0<\/span>Twenty to\u00a0<\/span>30 minute time trials are a great assessment for threshold<\/span>\u00a0metrics,\u00a0<\/span>while\u00a0<\/span>an hour-plus\u00a0<\/span>time<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>frame will give you a clear idea of what sort of numbers you might hold during the bike leg of a race. While working on these sorts of efforts is often uncomfortable and\u00a0<\/span>mind numbing<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>I certainly know I feel more comfortable on the start line knowing what I am capable of, having pushed these limits\u00a0<\/span>during\u00a0<\/span>time trials.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                    My advice for testing yourself against the clock is to start short<\/span>: five,<\/span>\u00a010 or 15 minutes<\/span>\u00a0is\u00a0<\/span>offers\u00a0<\/span>plenty of time to suffer. Once you get comfortable with this type of effort<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0begin the daunting task of increasing the time trial length with the goal of reaching 50<\/span>\u00a0to\u00a0<\/span>80\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0per cent<\/span>\u00a0of the time you will be racing on the bike.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                    The biggest benefit of all specific cycling intervals is overcoming or completing something you\u00a0<\/span>didn\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0think you could do. By working towards cycling goals in increments<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0athletes can check\u00a0<\/span>a number of boxes that will give them confidence as they head into\u00a0<\/span>the new season.<\/span><\/p>\n
