HIT Finish Faster

hitfinishfasterhistogram If you've ever found yourself on the last lap of a race or in the final stretch of a fast group ride and you just didn't have the power to out-kick your rivals, this HIT workout is for you.  Each part of this 45 minute workout is designed to help you finish faster, from the last lap to the last meters of a sprint.  Designed to train high intensity physiology and recoverability, you'll be:

  • Learning to attack hard over and over again.
  • Training your body to maintain a hard steady effort.
  • Finally, you'll put the two together in a last lap hero breakaway that will train your ability to finish fast.
  • 45 minutes
  • Trains: VO2 max, fatigue resistance, accelerated recovery, repeated efforts
