Back on the road to fitness – prep

zwift-gran-fondo-training-1-1

Three nice warm-up sessions to get me prepared for what’s to come

Long Tempo Intervals

Zwift says “Long tempo intervals here to get you used to sustained higher effort that will help power you up and over the longer climbs”.  And that is what they were.

Low Cadence

I thought this was going to be an easy intro session.  Was I wrong!  Riding at race power while keeping my cadence at 55rpm was like riding up hill! 

Progressive Ramps

Somewhat easier than Low Cadence but still a tough workout ramping up above FTP.  Just a matter of maintaining my favourite cadence and letting Zwift, ERG and my turbo trainer making me work harder and increasing power.

Now for week 1 proper.
