3,200/4,000-m < 10:00
Strategy

Perform each bike at a sustainable pace (around 80-90% effort) to feel relatively recovered prior to starting the next interval.

If you feel like you can push faster, wait until the 2,400/3,000-m and/or the 3,200/4,000-m intervals to turn on the afterburners.

Try to perform this workout with friends or a training partner for more of a push. If you don’t have someone to complete the workout with, wear a watch and have goals for each interval prior to starting.
