Physiology > Interval Workouts
Do Sprints Within Endurance Rides Improve Adaptations?
Dr. Stephen Cheung attempts to answer the question of whether it’s productive to incorporate intensity into an endurance ride.
Intensity Changes Between Fast-Start and Steady Intervals, with Dr. Stephen Cheung
Dr. Stephen Cheung discusses a study comparing steady-state versus fast-start intervals, then uses Xert software to model how a fast-start interval can be much more intense.
Structured Workout: 20-Minute FTP Test
Are you ready to suffer? Join us for a climbing time trial up the infamous Alpe du Zwift during which we’ll execute an FTP test.
Improving Performance by Increasing Sustainability
Reducing cardiovascular drift and increasing fiber recruitment are key components of sustainability.
This Is an Interval
Trevor Connor revisits the fundamentals of aerobic versus anaerobic pathways, and helps us understand more advanced principles of interval training.
Properly Executing Intervals Is Hard; Keep Your Training Plan Simple
Complex training prescriptions are becoming increasingly popular. Does it really need to be that complex? What do you gain from this complexity?
