Description
Beech is 60 minutes of aerobic Endurance riding spent somewhere between 65-75% FTP.
Goals
Endurance workouts are aimed at improving your aerobic power production capabilities in a steady, low-stress manner.
By training your endurance muscle fibers to better utilize oxygen to metabolize fat as fuel, your muscles can spare sugar stores for more intense efforts.
This long/slow approach to fostering aerobic capabilities is the lighter, kinder alternative to high-intensity repeats, but both approaches target many of the same adaptations.
Try to keep your spin above 85rpm, preferably above 95rpm.
