2 x 20

Have you tried one of these bad boys yet? If as an amateur-FT-working-competitive cyclist you're finding it hard to get in the required training hours a great way to get improve fitness is to ride at threshold (1hr TT pace) in chunks of twenty minutes. This can be as part of a longer ride or as a specific 2 x 20 session. You ride hard at TT/RR pace for twenty minutes take a five minute rest and then repeat a 2nd or if you're really juiced up a 3rd time. There are variations on this recently I've beeb riding hard for forty minutes without taking a break and thrown in a few sprints every now and then to stimulate a crit ride. Anyway this has been my mid week training diet for the last couple of weeks. My human power meter suggests I'm getting stronger especially as 53/17 at a good cadence feels pretty good even in the windier parts of Regent Park.
