Workout description

Looking to improve your hill climbing, our "king of the hill" workouts (also see our hill climbing training plans) should stand you in good stead to become the king of the hill.

The Alpine Climbs workout focuses predominately on the typical Alpine hill (relatively long in nature with a progressive slope). This is specifically aimed at those hills that take anywhere from 20 minutes - 1 hour to climb. To improve on shorter (steeper and shorter - such as those typically found in the UK), be sure to checkout our other "king of the hill" workouts.

Focus on hitting your power target during the hill efforts and really think about holding a good position on the bike. Think about the position you would normally adopt on the bike when tackling such a hill and try to replicate this during the hill effort.

The Alpine Climbs workout will really help a rider get used to sustaining a power output above their endurance pace (often whats required to tackle such climbs). Intervals are long and recoveries are short to help replicate the demanding nature of a constant gradient.

To progress this workout, riders can move to the next level (See: King Of The Hill - Alpine Climbs - Level 3).
