How to Sweet Spot on the Group Ride (4 of 8 in the SST series)

How to Sweet Spot on the Group Ride (4 of 8 in the SST series)

Group Rides and Sweet Spot - two things we love here at FasCat. This podcast puts the two together.

If you're new to the pod, welcome! And if you're new to the concept of Sweet Spot, know that it's a training zone and a training technique. As a zone, it's between 84% to 97% of your functional threshold power.

At FasCat, we have Sweet Spot training baked into many of our training plans, especially at this time of the year.

And yes, you can do Sweet Spot workouts on the trainer or by yourself. But cycling is often more fun with others, and the real jedi magic for training is when you can incorporate specific training into either the landscape - like hills or wind - or group rides or even races!

So, how to Sweet Spot in the group ride? The answer, as always is: IT DEPENDS. So we discuss a few scenarios: Hard group rides, medium hard group rides, and then the all-important post-ride analysis.

This is the fourth episode in an eight-pod series on Sweet Spot.
