Workout description

Like to go faster? Your going to love Accelerator. Built as 3 blocks of "mini ramps", Accelerator ask the rider to perform 2-3 minutes at a range of power levels from tempo upwards. Focus on hitting your power target during each step. Things are likely to get tough in the final 2 minutes of each block. Stick with it, you have a full 6 minutes recovery before the next one.

This is a great workout to familiarise yourself with how working at the various power levels feels. It will also help a rider adapt to a pace or power demand that is constantly increasing (such as a progressive hill climb or final few km of a time trial). Cadence should be near constant across the steps at your self selected cadence rate.
