In association with CycleOps.

Over/under intervals involve efforts above and below your threshold, which is a really effective way to increase that threshold power.

The session contains:

A 3 minute steady warm-up
2 minutes at tempo
20 minutes of over/under intervals
3 minutes steady cool down

The intervals contain:
2 minutes slightly above your threshold, this should be hard, but a power you can maintain
1 minute steady riding

Each 2 minute over threshold interval will be ridden at a different cadence: First interval at 100rpm, then 90rpm, 80rpm, 60, 80, 90, and then the final interval back at 100rpm

Not all exercises are suitable for everyone - there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach. As with any strenuous exercise, you should take into account factors such as your flexibility, strength and overall health to determine if an exercise is appropriate for you, and consult a doctor/physician before beginning a programme of exercise. Discontinue your exercise session immediately if you experience any pain, dizziness or discomfort.
Partaking in training sessions following GCN's video instruction is entirely at your own risk, and Global Cycling Network, its partners and its affiliated companies cannot be held responsible for any injuries which may occur as a result of these exercises.
