GCN Zero to Hero Sweet Spot
Group Workout
EVENT DESCRIPTION
Following a 5-year pro cycling career GCN Host Conor Dunne is embarking on a new year journey to get back to race level fitness.
Join Conor for this seven-week training series. A training plan developed specifically to get athletes back to race fitness quickly, with a weekend race to test your limits. The plan, assembled by Israel Start-Up Nation Performance Coach, Greg Henderson, is designed to help get you fitter in just seven short weeks.
There will be two group workouts offered each week that will be led by Conor himself.
You can also follow Conor's progress by tuning into the GCN Series here.
ABOUT THE WORKOUT
Cycling is about becoming comfortable at being uncomfortable. This type of effort is exactly that! The initial power will not hurt the legs but as the effort goes on and you start using up the substrate (fuel) in your body, it’s amazing how quickly a relatively easy effort can turn quite nasty on you. A 20min effort is the main set, then once the legs are carrying some fatigue, we’;ll move onto 5 x 1min bang on FTP.
