It is not uncommon for coaches to prescribe a range within workouts, and admittedly, the idea of a range can get confusing and a little scary for an athlete. For example, a workout range could look like:

  • 2-3 hours endurance
  • 4-6 x 3 minute intervals
  • 5 x 4-6 min intervals
  • 65-75% MHR or %FTP
  • 8-10 miles
