SMITE (Saturday Morning Interval Training Exercise) is a 50-60 min no-drop group ride spiked by a rotating mix of short to long Strava segments.

Finding it hard to train more than 4 hours per week? Interval training is a proven format for dynamic power gains over short periods of time. SMITE will incorporate a mix of Sweet Spot, Threshold and VO2Max efforts to hammer your legs into finely sculpted PYTHONS.

VHIIT (Variable High Intensity Interval Training) FORMAT
Each Interval is a Strava segment race against the clock for the best chip time, and we'll have 4-5 per ride.
Intervals will add up to around 30% of the overall ride each week.
Once at the end of the interval, wait to let your fellow SMITErs regroup.
This is only NO-DROP ride between intervals.
Maintain a pace of ~30 km/hr in between intervals and 2.5 watts/kg up hills.
The ride leader will call out the Strava segments as you approach them, so stay close.

A leaderboard is maintained to keep track of all the points for the season (details tbd).
Some segments will be renamed to honour the winners for that week.
Winners of identified interval will pick the kit for the following week.
Winners of the season will get some free swag.

SOCIAL
All of the segments will be published weekly in the Strava Club Discussions.
Don't forget to favourite all Strava Segments that start with "SMITE: " so that they don't appear in the dreaded 'hidden' area.
