Workshops

Coach Connor details the best practices for 5×5-minute intervals, from their physiological benefits to how and why you should do them. INCLUDES downloadable workout files.

Coach Connor details the best practices for 4×8-minute intervals, from their physiological benefits to how and why you should do them. INCLUDES downloadable workout files.

Intervals are a fundamental component of training. They enable athletes to add intensity in a controlled manner, and target specific energy systems.

Learn how and why you should select certain intervals, how to integrate them into your training plan, when to do them, and how to properly execute them.

Dr. Stephen Cheung attempts to answer the question of whether it’s productive to incorporate intensity into an endurance ride.

In this workshop, Dr. Stephen Seiler dives into the specifics of a famous Mat Hayman training session and also discusses how to “measure” high-intensity repeatability.

Coach Ryan Kohler demonstrates ways to train maximal force production, or torque, on the bike.

Dr. Stephen Cheung discusses a study comparing steady-state versus fast-start intervals, then uses Xert software to model how a fast-start interval can be much more intense.

Coach Ryan Kohler and Trevor Connor demonstrate how to interpret pedaling cadence data and look for signs of poor workout execution.

In this final video of his “short stack”, three-part series, Dr. Stephen Seiler discusses some research studies that compare short interval and long interval training and how they impact endurance capacity in already well-trained athletes.

Dr. Stephen Seiler walks through some real-life short interval workout data to reveal some rules of thumb for how you can integrate these into your own training.

Coach Trevor Connor and Coach Ryan Kohler walk through their process for interpreting 5×5-minute interval workout sessions in TrainingPeaks.

Interval training sessions with repeats of 30:30s, 40:20s, and 30:15s have become very popular. How does the (endurance-trained) body respond to this type of high-intensity interval prescription?
