Why ride Long Over-Unders?

Hard intervals near your functional threshold power. They train you to hold high power for longer, and they demand real recovery.

When to use it

On a dedicated hard day, usually no more than once or twice a week.

Recovery

Plan at least one easy day afterwards, two or more if your legs feel heavy.

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.
  • This is a long session: start fuelling early and drink regularly.
