SYSTM OCTOBER Challenge: The Indoor Workshop - Open Season

October marks the official reopening of your personal performance lab. Whether your workshop is a dedicated training studio or a tuned-up corner of the garage, this month is about sharpening your tools and building momentum for the season ahead.

We are kicking off the indoor season with a “Greatest Hits” approach, selecting workouts that define the SYSTM experience. Expect high intensity, immersive storytelling, and the kind of session that reminds you why you put in the work.

The 4 Workouts

Complete these four sessions to earn your badge:

  1. SUF | No Place Like Home: A low-stress, gentle re-entry workout designed to ease you back into interval training after a break. It features mild, controlled surges that wake up your legs, lungs, and mind without leaving you totally drained.

  2. SUF |The Cure: A fast-paced, 30-minute high-intensity session built around modified 20/10 micro-intervals paired with immediate tempo and threshold efforts. It spikes your heart rate and forces your body to process high levels of lactate on the fly.

  3. SUF |The Chores: A well-rounded, hour-long workout that uses 40-second bursts with 20-second recoveries to drain your anaerobic gas tank before throwing you straight into sustained threshold efforts to boost AC, MAP, and FTP all at once.

  4. SUF |The Pain Shake: A cardiovascular test designed to elevate MAP via over-under efforts. It alternates 90-second MAP surges with brisk 3-minute recovery blocks, keeping your heart rate and breathing elevated throughout three distinct production phases.

Given my detraining season has nearly come to an end, I will 100% commit to The Indoor Workshop.

Congrats on completing the workout and sorry the badge hasn’t appeared, we will look into it today!
