Day 009 - Seated sprints

1-hour ride at RPE 6, including 3 sprints        Training via ActiveMail

RIDE FOR ONE HOUR AT RPE 6 WITH THREE SPRINTS: Today when you do your sprints, do them seated. Cycling coach Chris Carmichael (www.ridefast.com) calls these "stomp intervals." Using a fairly large gear, roll along at a moderate speed of about 12 mph. Remain in the saddle and accelerate hard for about ten seconds, then pedal easily for five minutes. Repeat this drill three times. You'll be building seated strength for more climbing power.
