Why ride 2 × 30 Tempo?

A sustained, moderately hard effort that builds muscular endurance. Useful when training time is limited, but more tiring than easy endurance riding.

When to use it

On moderately demanding days, with recovery before your next hard session.

Recovery

Plan an easy day before your next hard session. Long tempo blocks add up over a week.

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.
