B CAT - 2.8 to 4.5 w/kg, C CAT - 2.0 to 3.5 w/kg

Come and join the Team for our Thursday midweek High ‘n’ Low training, for what some say is our toughest workout of all. You can choose C or B CAT something unique to our midweek workout events. The Thursday rides forms part of your HIT training, that will require you to work at high intensity levels with short recovery periods, improving your aerobic fitness so make sure you are warmed up this will hurt and on most events the leaders will be pushing your CAT to its limit.

Team CLS prides itself on customizing our workouts for both CAT’s at the last minute to take into consideration the Sign Ups so you might not last to the end, but you should get close. Oh, and we never stop chatting / moaning at the pain!

So, after leaving the start pen as one, the varied pace will see the CAT’s gradually split. You may be a C CAT who wants to try and hang on to the B’s, or a B CAT having a bad day who decides to slip back to the C’s bunch, the choice is yours as drafting works across the CATs! A great opportunity to see if you are ready to make that jump up. The B’s will activate the Zwift Fence (AKA Johnny) during the warmup so you don’t need to worry about fliers, but the C’s fence is off so if you are up for a challenge you won’t be kicked out for your efforts. We also have customized power ups on this one to help with the type of course and workout planned.

The leaders will give clear instructions as the ride progresses as the workouts are varied from week to week and adjusted to the sign ups. We always have breaks during the ride when we return to the ‘Resting Level’ announced by the leader at the time. The Leader will insist the rest periods are respected strictly, as some people will be relying on it to survive to the end.

As these are ‘Workout Rides’, other than the rests, we will not be able to slow to sweep riders, so if you do find yourself off the back follow the instructions and complete the ride at your pace or in a split group setting yourself targets as you go along, any workout is a good workout. PLEASE remember when we finish the sets and the leader calls ‘REST’, all riders must back off immediately and get behind the leader as quickly as possible, so we can prepare for the next effort. For anyone with energy left in the tank we often end the rides with an increase in pace and we ask for riders that want to take part to support the leader with any calls they make as the format regularly changes. More info in ride.

Please add the TAGS - (CLS B) or (CLS C) after your surname to take full advantage of post ride results and enable the group to identify riders from different CATs. We strongly recommend a 15 to 20 mins pre-ride warm up; this will really help you feel the pace is not too hot from the off. Members of our group may like to use one of our Team CLS warm up workouts from our Facebook Group www.teamclscc.comOpens a new window. Either the TT warm up or Pre-Ride warm up work well for this from our files section.
