Today's session consists of 4 x 9-minute cruise intervals. Cruise intervals are performed within Zone 4.

However, we are starting with the most challenging interval 1st and decreasing the power slightly for each interval. Observe your heart rate across the four intervals. Is it dropping along with the target power?

Focus on controlled breathing and pedalling at a cadence similar to your Time Trial cadence.
