Cycling Workouts to Improve Your Sprint
Sprinting is a skill and a system: maximal recruitment, big-gear acceleration, and the ability to go again. These sessions train all three with short all-out efforts and full recoveries — quality over quantity. Do them fresh, early in a ride, and stop a set when the snap disappears.
Sprint-Building Sweet Spot
63-78 min · 47-57 TSS
Building sprint power on a sweet spot foundation - combining sustained efforts with short maximal bursts.
Sprint Practice
45-75 min · 32-39 TSS
Dedicated sprint work to develop peak power. Full recovery between efforts ensures maximum quality on every sprint.
Microbursts
45-70 min · 41-50 TSS
Ultra-short hard efforts with brief recovery. Keeps your heart rate elevated and builds your ability to recover between surges — great for group ride fitness.
Sprint Power Development
59-89 min · 58-71 TSS
Sprint work followed by VO2max efforts. The sprints develop neuromuscular power, the longer intervals build your aerobic ceiling.
Big-Gear Jumps
53-70 min · 34-41 TSS
Sprints from a slow roll in a big gear. Starting nearly from a standstill forces maximum muscle recruitment - this is where raw sprint power is built.
Saddle and Stand
56-78 min · 37-45 TSS
Four seated sprints, then four standing. Contrasting the two styles builds a complete sprint - seated for stability and cadence, standing for raw force.
Kicker Sprints
56-78 min · 36-44 TSS
Short all-out sprints up a steep kicker. The gradient loads your muscles harder than any flat sprint - 8-10 seconds of pure force production.
Sprint Pyramid
53-71 min · 30-37 TSS
Sprints that climb from 10 to 20 seconds and back down. The longer middle efforts stretch your sprint endurance, the short ones keep peak speed sharp.
A coach who's seen every ride you've done
Ask FormBeat's AI Coach anything - what to ride today, why a session felt flat, how to pace your next race - and it answers from your real training: your power, your history, how you're recovering. Not generic tips, but a read of what each ride actually meant and what to do next.
The guidance you'd pay a coach for - for the price of an app.
