Turbo session: 2 x 20

We kick off our 12 Days of Christmas indoor training special with this turbo session, which promises to develop your ability to hold near-threshold efforts.

Over the next 12 days we’ll be bringing you a new indoor training session each day, to get you raring for the coming tri season.

Warm-up

10mins progressive. Start easy and build so that, by the end, you’re sweating and just a couple of clicks below your effort level.

Main set

2 x 20mins with 5mins recovery. In race position, ride at your maximum sustainable pace/power for 20mins.

Spin easy for 5mins and then try to replicate. Note down distances, average power and average heart rate for comparisons to later sessions.

Cool-down

5mins easy spinning.

Look out for tomorrow’s session, a treadmill running session for sprint-distance triathletes
