Anaerobic Capacity Hills #2
Group Workout
EVENT DESCRIPTION
ABOUT THIS WORKOUT
Increasing your anaerobic capacity will help you become a stronger cyclist. Anaerobic energy can be used for a short burst at a higher power output than your FTP.
To improve your anaerobic capacity we need to produce high power efforts between 30sec and 3min. In this session we replicate AC intervals performed on a climb by adding a target rpm. The climb starts out steady enough, before ramping up to the finish with high power.
WORKOUT DESIGNER
Kevin Poulton. Having over 15 years of coaching experience, the successful implementation of indoor training at Powerhouse Cycling has allowed athletes to achieve success across a wide range of events. We have devised methods of training that allow your indoor training to compliment your work completed on the road.
Under the guidance of Powerhouse Cycling, athletes have won Paris-Roubaix, Grand Tour stages, World Tour classics, and numerous National and State Championships.
I have been coaching, racing and training with power meters since the late 90's and have successfully implemented their use into my training programs. My interest in exercise physiology ensures I keep up to date with the latest scientific studies, with this knowledge being passed onto our athletes.

ABOUT GROUP WORKOUTS
Zwifters line up in the starting area just like a normal event and once the event starts, workout mode begins. Everyone stays together regardless of power output. That's right, if you're outputting 100W and another Zwifter is outputting 400W you will stay in exactly the same position relative to each other. Only if you stop pedaling and fall 6 meters behind the group will the rubber-banding stop.
HELPFUL HINT
We highly recommend doing one of the FTP tests as the estimated FTP can be inaccurate and make the difficulty level of the workouts too high for your current fitness level.
