Why ride Sweet Spot Progression?
Challenging but controlled intervals just below threshold. Sweet spot builds sustained power and muscular endurance, usually with less recovery cost than threshold or VO2max work.
When to use it
Once or twice a week when improving sustained power is your priority.
Recovery
Most riders are ready for another quality session after one or two easy days.
Riding tips
