Sweet Spot Cycling Training Plan. Sprints, attacks, vo2 max work, etc. The idea being that an athlete can use sst to strengthen the base upon which all varied abilities are built on (aerobic endurance, vo2 max intervals, anaerobic bursts, neuromuscular bursts, etc.).
Even if you don’t use a power meter to measure it, increasing your sustained power improves your general riding, climbing and riding into a headwind. Add in some 20 minute sweetspot blocks into a longer ride when competition season approaches. In my experience athletes can take a traditional friel style base build of 24 weeks down to 18 weeks with 3 three week mesocycles incorporating sweet.
