Watts Pyramid

    Just did a sick workout in my hotel room… had to share. Warm-up for 10 minutes, then start at your CP60, do 5 minutes, then 5 minutes at CP30, then 5minutes at CP20. Active recovery for two minutes, then 3 repetitions of the following: 1min @ CP20 plus 20watts, 1min @ CP20 plus 15watts, 1min @ CP20 plus 10 watts, 1min @ CP20 plus 5 watts, 1min @ CP20, two minutes of active recovery. Over the next two weeks, I'll add one interval each week, for a total of five. This workout is excellent, really puts a burn in your legs and increases your FTP. With a five minute cool down, a three interval session takes about an hour, and I'm fairly beat afterward, but it's a great workout. Gotta give the credit to my coach for turning me on to this one.

On a side note, no stomach problems for me, though my diet is a tad more restricted than I'd like, but it's a small price to pay for the clean bill of health I'm shooting for. In addition, I get back to Colorado in 8 days…. But who's counting ;)

Thanks for sharing. I'll keep that workout in mind. Trainer time always goes faster for me when I have a plan to follow.
