Why ride 2-Minute Repeats?

Very short, intense efforts with generous recovery. They build your ability to attack, accelerate and handle repeated surges.

When to use it

Occasionally, when your riding calls for explosive efforts.

Recovery

The efforts are short but the strain is high. Follow with easy riding.

Riding tips

  • Ride it in ERG mode: YourIntervals sets the resistance for every interval, so focus on a smooth, steady cadence around 85–95 rpm.
  • Targets feel off today? Use the intensity control to scale the whole workout up or down in 1 % steps.
