Indoor Cycling Training Video: The Sufferfest's Fight Club

The Details:

• How long: 58minutes
• What it's about: Circuit race simulation
• Best for: Increasing ability to go from high-speed flat racing to sharp climbs, all while responding to surprise attacks.

The Fight Club cycling training videos is scrappy, messy, and unpredictable. Like a real bike race, you're working hard to stay with the leaders, while fending off attacks and doing your best to make the race by attacking as well. This is the only cycling workout video featuring officially licensed footage from the UCI Road World Championships in Mendrisio, Switzerland. You'll be racing with - and against - Cancellara, Evans, Kolobnev, Cunego, Gilbert, Wiggins, Martin and more!

Workout Details:

Fight Club was designed to build power over longer durations, while increasing leg-speed through 23 (!) unannounced 'attacks' that will challenge you to accelerate and then recover while still making a massive effort. Here’s what you’ll get over the roughly 60 minutes:

• 5:00 warm-up
• Five 'laps' of circuit racing, featuring footage from the UCI World Championship Time Trial and Road Race:
  • 1st lap:
    • 6:00 of tempo riding, with a few attacks to break up the field
    • 1:00 recove2y
  • 2nd - 5th lap:
    • 4:00 time trial effort (with more attacks!)
    • 2:30 climbing (with even more surprise attacks!)
    • 3:00 recovery (no attacks - we're cruel, but not that cruel)
• 5:00 minute warm-down

Although this workout is one you can repeat over and over as you learn more about your ability to maintain sustained efforts, there are a few alternative ways to ride it that will get you even more 'replayability.'
