This week features another Sweet Spot workout. Focus on just being in the zone. Let's use our breathing techniques and settle into the rhythm of the workout. The Thursday workout will be challenging! It's harder than it looks and will make for some fun training while also prepping us for an ascent of the Alpe du Zwift.
