What this workout is for

Training Goal:

Introduction to HIIT training.

At its core, this is aerobic endurance focus for cycling. The structure matters more than the title: duration, recoveries, and intensity changes decide whether the session builds base, threshold control, or a harder top-end stimulus.

Workout structure

The chart is rendered from the stored workout data. Wider sections last longer, and taller blocks indicate higher target intensity.

18 min @ 60% | Ramp from 60% to 85% | 6x 1 min on / 1 min easy | 5 min @ 60% | 6x 1 min on / 1 min easy | 20 min @ 60%

Training effect

The effect comes mainly from calm aerobic work. That supports fat metabolism, endurance durability, and the ability to absorb training volume repeatedly.

How to execute it

Ride the easy sections with discipline and use power or heart rate as the guardrail. For structured indoor sessions, ERG mode works well as long as FTP and zones are current.

Where it fits in the week

This workout can appear more often in the week when volume and recovery are balanced. It is especially useful for building consistency without making every training day hard.

Watch especially for

  • Do not make the easy parts too hard.
  • Update zones before the session if your fitness has changed.
  • Review whether the intended stimulus was achieved, not only the averages.
