UltraFit's Sprints C
Cycling, October 27, 2025
Sprints are a great way to build leg strength and power generation. This is great for triathletes, road cyclists, and mountain bikers.
Each Sunday I’ll post a Smart-Trainer Session that you can do in about 60 minutes to enhance your cycling. See a previous post about training intensity (Levels) to know how hard to work. If you are working directly with Coach Ray he will in most cases prescribe either a Power Zone or Heart Rate Zone to work within if you are training with these tools.
The inspiration for this session comes from an article in Issue 96 of UltraFit Magazine, written by Andrew Hamilton. It builds on a workout from a fortnight ago.
UltraFit's Sprints C
- 10min WU Level II;
- 6x 30sec Level V+, 2min Level II RI;
- 10min CD Level II;
- 10min Stretching
Start the workout with a ten-minute warm-up (WU) riding at Level II.
The main set is made up of six reps that are thirty seconds long at Level V+, taking a two-minute Rest Interval (RI) at Level II between reps.
Complete a Cool Down (CD) for ten minutes at Level II.
Finish with ten minutes of stretching to assist with your recovery.
