The Wahooligan Tour STAGE 1: The Sufferfest - Cash Register + Revolver
Sunday March 12
Welcome to Stage 1 of the Wahooligan Tour. Please use the thread to tell us about how your Tour is going so far!
A ride to honor the man himself, Davis Phinney, Cash Register is a series of over/under intervals, where you alternate going just below and just above threshold, which is the foundation of many classic workouts. Cash Register is an adaptation of that idea that comes in the format of a sprint/settle/surge session consisting of four intervals that get a little shorter (but not easier) each round.
Second up, Revolver. The simple idea of going hard for one minute and then easy for one minute, and then repeating, has been around since whatever evil genius realized that intervals were the best way to train. There is a reason this simple session has stuck around: it works.
Remember, you have 50 hours to complete each stage. As long as it’s still today’s date anywhere on earth, you’re golden. Check out the Tour Challenge Page for details on stage open and close times.
You never ride alone.
