Sufferfest's Fight Club Indoor Cycling Workout!

thesufferfest.com 's Fight Club Garmin Details
Nick and I did another one of www.thesufferfest.com 's ultra hard indoor cycling videos in the barn yesterday. These video's are extremely difficult, but will definitely help with longer sustain hill efforts later this spring and summer. Although each of the sufferfest videos matches a training technique used in Spinervals, sufferfest goes that one degree farther with attacks and increases in intensity over the course of each interval in a set. For example, Spinerval "Putting the Hammer Down", which we did at CC on Wednesday, compares to the Sufferfest video "The Fight Club". Both had 6 minute long intervals with longer rest intervals, but where The Hammer was a hard sustained effort the the entire 6 minutes, Fight Club was 4 minutes of TT training at 75 to 80 % with a cadence of 90 - 100, with a 2:00 hill climb at the end of 80-100 % with a cadence of 75-80 with attacks of 100% mixed in and a sprint at the end....Man. IWKMATTKYT! This changing interval keeps you alert and in the moment working harder than you thought you could otherwise on a trainer.
I think I will do a recovery ride today watching another one the sufferfest videos - Revolver...
