Workout description

Hill climber is all about putting a rider at or above threshold to replicate the demands of tackling a typical British hill. Relativley short in nature, the classic British hill usually requires shorter efforts above a riders threshold pace.

Constructed as 3 main blocks of "Hills", Hill climber asks a rider to perform at varying power levels above their threshold from between 2-3 minutes with relatively short recoveries. This will really help the body adapt to the power requirements needed to tackle a shorter/steeper hill.

Your going to be working during the hill efforts, but try and think about your usual climbing position and replicate it. Cadence is also important here, try and replicate the same sort of cadence you use on the hills.
