Class 9: What It Takes To Win with Adam Pulford and Dean Golich:

Dean Golich has coached World Champions and Olympic medalists, and he uses workouts like this one to show athletes just how deep they can dig. Not knowing exactly how many intervals you’re going to do is part of it (which is why there’s not much info below). This is an intense interval session, but you’ll know a lot more about yourself when you’re done.

Class 10: Time Trial Intervals with Jane Rynbrandt:

Whether you race or ride for yourself, time trial intervals are a great way to increase your maximum sustainable power. By riding moderate-length intervals at a high power output, you’ll train your body to handle the demands of races against the clock and increase the pace you can sustain for your longer rides.

CTS Coach Abby Ruby takes you through a classic progression of PowerIntervals that will keep you on your toes and push your VO2 max to new heights.

The PowerInterval progressions continue, and in this workout CTS Coach Jason Herr loads the front of the workout with longer intervals and then closes with three short and intense efforts right at the end. A workout like this allows you to keep accomplishing high-quality intervals even as you get to the end of the power in your legs.

Time trial training has a positive impact on every cyclist’s performance; no matter whether you’re a time trial specialist, a mountain biker, or a weekend century rider. There’s simply no downside to improving the power you can sustain for prolonged efforts because it enhances your performance at every other level of intensity.

Four eight-minute SteadyState intervals gives athletes of all ability levels a solid 32 minutes at the intensity guaranteed to make you a faster athlete. Do yourself, and your sustainable power, a big favor and keep this workout in your training arsenal all year long.

With the session-ending field test awaiting you in Class 16, CTS Coach Abby Ruby brings the intensity down a notch to make sure you’re optimally prepared for a record-setting performance in the field test. By itself, however, this Tempo workout provides a perfect stimulus for your aerobic engine throughout the year.

This is what it’s all about. Here’s your chance to see how much improvement you’ve made over the past eight weeks. On average, athletes who participate in CTS Power Training Classes experience a 12% increase in field test power output, and we’ve seen improvements of more than 20%!
