Last night at Train Chicago, the Max gals did Tabata Intervals. I'd never heard of these or done them before, but I loved it!
Five times we did sets of five minutes: 30 seconds of the hardest intensity FTP power possible and then 30 second recovery. Read about Tabata Intervals here: Intensity vs. Duration. These workouts build power.
I have to say, I loved it!!! Apparently, according to my coach, this means I'm a "sprinter" which may prove difficult since I am training for an Ironman! A tapata protocol can be used for any discipline however, I suspect it's easiest to go between sprint and recovery on a bike. I hope we do more of these!
