This workout is a variation on the popular (and productive) 2*20minutes sets which are a regular feature of many TT / Triathlon training schedules.

Each 20 minute block will feature four, one-minute segments above FTP before immediately returning to a Tempo effort. Hence ’Tempo with a Twist’ is the session name.

Often in races, it is not possible to maintain power at a steady level, and so training for variability will make it more comfortable on race day, when race and / or course dynamics mean that you have no choice to ride in that manner.
