Lead Out

Indoor Cycling • 46m
2 comments

Cycling is a team sport. In order for a team's leader to have the best chance to win, elite cycling teams aim to ride what they call a lead out.
This is where a number of riders in a team will ride at 100% intensity in a line of riders, with the goal to get as close to the finish line as possible before the leader has to sprint. Ultimately, all teammates will be exhausted and the leader will have the shortest distance possible remaining to the finish line.
In today's workout you will be the final lead out rider, not the leader.

This means you have eight 3 minute efforts.
90 seconds Moderate
60 seconds Hard
Then a maximal sprint for as long as you can. Less than 30 seconds.

Then goal is exhaustion, not 3 minutes. Sprint to failure.

You will have eight chances to reach your maximal effort.
