In order to do this training and get the most out of it your need to get ready for this ride. Of course this means getting your gear ready, putting on your cycling kit and getting a drink to recover more quickly. But is also means you need to get your body in the right state of being. This is why we put in a Pre Warm Up set to get your hips flexible to be able to sit on your race of mountain bike. So let’s get those hips swinging!!
You are now ready to go training. The workout consists of a proper warmup and some activation (easy sprints) after which you will have the core your piramid intervals. To get the most out of these set it is best to keep back in at the beginning and (perhaps) push it a little in the end. On average you should ride within the specified zones (3). Taking it too easy or pushing it too hard will minimize the effect of maintaining or building your Functional Threshold (Power).
The goal of this training is to maintain or raise your Functional Threshold (Power/Heart Rate). This will help you on your average club ride and keeps you fit too. Pushing it over your limit (to often) will decrease your functional threshold and taking it to easy will do the same. So sticking to the plan help you stay fit.
