- Enhance temperature regulation like a pro. 

- Upgrade respiratory endurance for smoother breathing. 

- Improve the fatigue resistance of fast-twitch (Type IIa) fibers, as higher cadences (90+ RPM) engage them for sustained efforts. 

How to Train:

- Gearing: Use small chainring x free (selecting gears that keep you in the target HR zone) 

CycloZeal – Sweet Spot Training 

Sweet Spot is that golden zone—just above an easy chat pace but below breathless effort. It’s where your aerobic engine thrives, balancing challenge and control. 

Aim to keep your heart rate at 78-85% of max while managing gears to stay on target RPM. Hills and headwinds may tempt you to push harder, but resist—precision is key. Stay in the zone, fine-tune your effort, and let your fitness take off! 🚴‍♂️ 

Priority Pass: Your Rep Time golden rule - stay in the Sweet Spot zone. It's the secret handshake to fitness awesomeness. 

CycloZeal Tip: Stay in the Sweet Spot zone; it's the VIP section for your aerobic engine. No sneaking out for snacks!

CycloZeal Fast Cadence (FC): It's time to cycle with the energy of a squirrel on a masala chai/espresso adventure!

Objective: Spin like a squirrel on an espresso shot! ☕🐿️ , all in the name of better pedaling.

This RPE-based workout (1 = very easy, 10 = max effort) focuses on smooth, controlled pedaling. Start at 90-95 RPM with light resistance, using the small chainring and a rear cog that aligns with your RPM target. Gradually build up to 110-120 RPM (RPE of 8-10, depending on your personal fitness) 

If you start bouncing in the saddle, shift to a higher gear; if your RPM drops below the target range, shift to a lower gear. Don’t stress over heart rate—these 30 seconds short reps will be over before heart gets time to fully responds. The goal is continuous, efficient pedaling to boost leg speed and coordination! 

Caution: Riders riding with normal pedals, should be careful to firmly have their feet on the pedals, to not slip off your feet when riding at high leg speed which can cause imbalance your cycle and may lead to accident
