A New Workout to Build Muscular Endurance from The Sufferfest

The Sufferfest, a comprehensive training app for cyclists and triathletes, today announced the release of their latest endurance workout, G.O.A.T. Adding to their library of over 50 structured interval workouts designed by elite coaches, this session features officially-licensed footage of the Swiss Alps from The Col Collective.

G.O.A.T. is a 42-minute interval workout created by world-renowned coaches Neal Henderson and Mac Cassin from APEX Coaching. Designed to help athletes develop neuromuscular coordination and muscular endurance, G.O.A.T. is built around eight, two-minute, low-cadence intervals. Using The Sufferfest’s proprietary Four-Dimensional Power™ platform, every interval is precisely calibrated to the rider’s personal fitness level. Each effort corresponds with a climb up some of the most iconic passes in the Swiss Alps. Mike Cotty, legendary endurance cyclist and founder of The Col Collective, serves as a tour guide during the workout, providing insight into the unique character of each climb.

“To be efficient on the bike you need to engage as many muscle groups as possible, including your glutes, quads, and hamstrings,” said Cassin. “The high-torque, low-cadence efforts in G.O.A.T. are one of the best ways to improve your ability to effectively recruit and coordinate all of the muscle fibres in your legs and develop a smooth, powerful pedal stroke. Because of the demands of generating high power at a low cadence, the workout puts a similar amount of stress on your body as a much longer base ride, making it a perfect session for building muscular endurance and boosting FTP.”

“We continue to build our library of structured workouts to help time-crunched athletes target specific aspects of their Four-Dimensional Power profile and get maximum benefit with minimum time investment,” said David McQuillen, CEO of The Sufferfest. “The focus on low-cadence, high-torque efforts in G.O.A.T. gives the same muscular endurance benefits as a three-hour base ride, all in under 45 minutes. Add the Col Collective’s incredible footage, Mike Cotty’s singular commentary, and the motivational push of some Sufferlandrian Laser Goats, and you have the makings of a classic workout.”
