Goal: Power An. Aláct.
10 - 15' warm up
n x 10" on a steep climb or stairs recovering 1-1'30" walking down to the start of the climb

CYCLING/MTB NATURAL FARTLECK

Goal: Aer. Ext.
90-120' z 1-4
Look for a route that is as varied as possible to alternate intensities depending on the route. On the climbs you should go z 3 high - z 4 low, on the flat z 2 high - z 3 low and on the descents take the opportunity to recover.
Before you start, enter 10' warm-up and when you finish 10' back to calm.

REST DAY/JOKER

Take advantage of this day to rest completely if you have been able to do all the training of the week or use this gap so that you can run the training one day forward from the day that you have not been able to train.
If you have done them all but still want to go out, do it but at a comfortable pace.

Session training zones

MULTI-JUMP RUN + AER. EXT.

Goal: Power
Warm up + Multi-jump session + Continuous Run z 2 + Cool down
As you improve you can increase the number of series. Do not go too far, however, that these exercises generate a lot of stiffness.

MTB AER. EXT./INT.

Goal: Aer. Ext./Int.
120-150' z 1-2-3
Continuous training at a comfortable to medium pace with the mtb. Do more or less according to the availability of time you have. Think more about a lap that motivates you than about strictly complying with the scheduled time.
