This 'n' That Tuesday - B C and D CATs

It’s time for your Team CLS Tempo and Hills Workout.

B CAT - 3.0 to 3.2 w/kg TEMPO, from 3.5 to 4.5 CLIMBING
C CAT - 2.5 to 2.7 w/kg TEMPO, from 3.0 to 3.8 CLIMBING
D CAT - 1.8 to 2.0 w/kg TEMPO, from 2.3 to 2.8 CLIMBING

Come and join the Team at our Zwift Training Camp. You can choose B, C or D CAT,
something unique to our events. All our leaders will both follow the same plan, just at different paces. Tuesday generally has a mix of TEMPO and CLIMBING so we cannot stress enough, set the TURBO to 100% for this baby if your knees allow. We also have customized power ups on this one to help with the type of course and workout planned.

Team CLS prides itself on customizing our workouts for both CAT’s so you might not
last to the end, but you should get close. The above Pace is a guide only though, as
strain levels will vary depending on where we are in our training cycle and the course we are riding. Please note, as a reward for your suffering you will UNLOCK our awesome kit but only if you complete Tuesday’s workout from Pen to Banner.
All CAT’s may activate the Zwift Fence (AKA Johnny) so make sure you join the CAT
you are going to ride with. If you are borderline we suggest you join the higher CAT as you can always slip back without being removed automatically, you can’t go the other way.

As these are ‘Workout Rides’, we will not be able to slow to sweep riders, so if you do find yourself off the back follow the routine and complete the ride at your pace and if possible form little groups of your own, any workout is a good workout and most importantly of all - don’t let those hills beat you!

Some people look to avoid hills but unfortunately, they don't go away, and should form an essential part of your training. This is proving a very popular ride with numbers growing all the time. We also recommend you set your trainer difficulty as high as you can to reduce cadence on the climbs, after all this is what you will experience in the Real World! 100% is best but if you need to start from 60 to 70% and build the difficulty over the weeks that is not a problem. If you do suffer from any knee pain, you should lower the resistance and raise the cadence to reduce the strain in these areas.

Please add the TAGS - (CLS B) or (CLS C) or (CLS D) after your surname to take full
advantage of post ride results and enable the group to identify each other.

We strongly recommend a 15 to 20 mins pre-ride warm up; this will really help you feel the pace is not too hot from the off. Members of our group may like to use one of our Team CLS warm up workouts from our Facebook Group www.teamclscc.com. Either the TT warm up or Pre-Ride warm up work well for this from our files section.
