How to do it

  1. Set your seat and handlebar height before you clip in.
  2. Warm up with light resistance and a comfortable cadence.
  3. Follow the intervals, adding resistance for climbs and spinning fast for sprints.
  4. Hold the effort and ride the rhythm for the session.

The one cue that matters

Keep tension in the pedals on climbs and don't bounce in the saddle when you sprint.

Muscles worked
