Cycling workouts

Every ride we prescribe — easy aerobic, threshold, VO2max, sprints. Purpose, execution, common mistakes.

  1. Aerobic Ride: Volume Without the BillThe bike's easy session — the same intent as an aerobic run, at a lower heart rate, with a ceiling your legs don't set.
  2. Sprint Ride: Fifteen Seconds, Fully RecoveredShort maximal efforts on the bike — the one session that reaches the fibres endurance training never touches, at almost no metabolic cost.
  3. Threshold Ride: The Session the Bike Does BestSustained blocks at the edge of steady state — and why you can hold twice as much of it on a bike as you can on foot.
  4. VO2max Ride: Raising the Ceiling, Off Your FeetFour-minute hard intervals on the bike — why the rep is longer than its running equivalent, and why that's physiology rather than preference.
