TOUR DE FRANCE TRAINING STAGE 16: SCHLECK DROPS CHAIN AND YELLOW JERSEY, YOU GET READY TO EXPLODE

Explode from all the lactic acid you're going to build up during your trip to the woodshed, that is.

If you haven't given the DRILLit.TV TRX warmup for cycling a try yet, today's a day. First Do this DRILLit.TV: GET TURNED ON: TRX/CYCLING MORNING/PRE-RIDE ROUTINE.  It will improve functional range of motion, help you ward off low back pain, and get you ready for peak performance every workout, every day.

Onto the fun and games:
4 x 5 min. LT intervals with full sprint last :20 sec of each interval. Recovery between interval=duration of each interval or your heart rate reaching its recovery zone, whichever comes first.

These motherfuckers will gas you, so it's a great day to practice comfort with discomfort. Actively focus on relaxing your breathing and not putting any more effort into the pedals than necessary to maintain LT pace. On the all-out sprints, kick it harder than you think you can, stay on top of the gear, and go like you're instigating a break, vying for a sprint victory, or chasing down an attack.

More fun and games post-ride:
Circuit the following, no rest, 10 reps per movement until 16 minutes has elapsed.
