Howdy folks,

Holy cow, what a debacle at Le Tour De France this morning! Froomie! Don’t drop the bike!

Crap…

Sigh.

So, how about a Cyclocross Workout Of The Day to take your mind off this silliness?

How about…

Sventervals – 

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

Just like in the video.

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

5 sets of 5 for today (you’ll build up to more) and notice how hard Sven is breathing after these?

That’s the idea.

Hit it hard. Really hard. These are super short, and super intense, but even though you’re giving them everything you’ve got, the idea is to do them on terrain that self-limits what you can do.

Can’t get up the hill anymore?

You’re done.

Have fun,

M
