Mountain Massif structured training event

The Mountain Massif structured training session that will be hosted is called “Power Climbs.”

This workout will help improve your ability to make explosive efforts which will help when attacking, closing small gaps and maintaining contact on the smaller climbs when the w/kg increases. 

It is 40 minutes in duration, with lots of variety to keep you out of the saddle.  It has been designed to be challenging, but not too difficult that you won’t be able to complete it.
