Completing long tempo efforts with short, high-intensity surges, is another way to increase threshold power. With the constant high power, the body must process the lactate produced from the above threshold surges. An effective session, without the lung burning effect of a sustained threshold effort. Complete the 15 second surges out of the seat, before settling back into the Tempo effort.
