Get your pens out as we breakdown how to create the perfect HIIT intervals that include multiple training zones that will actually translate to better cycling performance on climbs, time trialing, pacelines, attacks, and surges. In addition to the zones, we give you the full picture of what execution skills to include when crafting your training plan that will not only make you a better cyclist but are a lot more stimulating and fun.
