Turbo Week 3 – 27th November 2013

Week 3 of the 2012/13 turbo season was a pyramid set of intervals to build aerobic endurance.

Warm up was a 20 minute routing as practiced by British Cycling. This warm up would also be good prep for a time trial rather than an unstructured ride up and down the road:

Time	Cadence (RPM)	Instruction/Focus
5 minutes	90	Smooth pedalling
2 minutes	95	Smooth pedalling
2 minutes	100	Smooth pedalling
2 minutes	105	Smooth pedalling
1 minute	110	Smooth pedalling
30 seconds	120-130	Maintain form
2 minutes	90	Relax and recover
6 seconds	150+	Max rev out
1 minute	90	Smooth pedalling
6 seconds	150+	Max rev out
1 minute	90	Smooth pedalling
6 seconds	150+	Max rev out
