This session is designed to increase your FTP from below, working predominantly on your aerobic metabolism. Your body will become more comfortable at these powers in time, and your FTP will increase.

You should be tired and struggling to hold power by the end of the final interval, but not at your absolute limit. Despite this being a sprint-focused plan, we do not complete a single sprint today.

These steady efforts are designed to build your engine. Meaning you are fresher and able to complete the sprints when required.
