Howdy folks,

Happy Holidays, whatever your holiday flavor of choice.

It’s X-Mass tomorrow, so pretty darn likely going to be a day off  – or nearly off – the bike for most.

Today, we earn that day off.

How so?

Sometimes a picture (or a video) is worth a thousand words.

Sventervals – 

Just like in the video.

Really darn short – 10 seconds max – full gas hill sprints, ideally on pretty technical terrain.

5 sets of 5, or even more if you can.

Notice how hard Sven is breathing after these?

That’s the idea.

Hit it hard. Really hard.

Stop when you just can’t get ’em done anymore.

Have fun,

M
