Workout description

Often referred to as the "sweetspot" level, this workout is designed to see a rider spend time at just below their current FTP level (for full information about FTP, please see our Help Portal).

Sweetspot intervals are said to deliver many of the benefits of a traditional threshold interval but at a slightly reduced intensity. The advantage of this is that recovery from such work is quicker than threshold intervals meaning the "sweetspot" level can be trained at more often than threshold levels.

Sweetspot intervals are very good at helping a rider perform at a relatively higher level intensity for a longer period of time. Leg effort will be noticeable during these workouts and breathing is likely to be slightly laboured.

Riders should ensure they have a good base level fitness (See: solid foundations workouts) before attempting sweetspot intervals. These are a medium-high intensity workout that will require full concentration to ensure the power targets are met.
