Carlee Taylor’s Lactate Tolerance
Group Workout
EVENT-BESCHREIBUNG
ABOUT THIS WORKOUT
This type of session helps your body become more efficient at clearing
and coping with lactic acid (which is what stops you from being able to
push more power and is what causes that horrendous burning sensation
in an effort). This session also improves your maximum power output,
and gets your body used to the changing rhythm of racing.
Raising you lactate threshold and tolerance increases the amount of
power you can put out in pretty much every effort and thus makes you
a better rider in every situation.
These sessions hurt! They are intense! But if it was easy everyone
would do it! ;)
3x10min efforts (set 1: 40/20s @ 120%FTP,
set 2: 30/30s @125%FTP,
set 3: 20/40s @ 130%FTP)
Join recently retired female pro cyclist, Carlee Taylor in her weekly 'bang for your buck' session. Carlee Taylor has been a pro for the last 7 years, representing Australia numerous times at World Championships. She has raced on some of the best teams in the world, including Team Sunweb, Mitchelton-SCOTT (GreenEdge), and Lotto- Soudal, and wore the climbers' jersey in the women's Giro Italia. Every second week she will not only be the ride leader, but will be providing a live stream whilst she does the workout as well, talking all things cycling and answering your questions while you sweat it up.
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.
