Putting together ramp test and first workout

I do not recommend planning an actual “work” workout after the Ramp Test. If done to true exhaustion, you should be too smoked to do Mount Field (a top end Tempo workout).

For reference, here are some of the recommended workouts to do following the Ramp. These are nearly all easier, and shorter aerobic workouts.

I used to add them, and may still add Carter on occasion. But as I have improved my ability to burn myself entirely into the Ramp, I have far less to ride after.

You may be able to do Mount Field the day after, especially if you keep any Ramp follow-up easy and short. Overall (and with respect to your strength training) make sure to give yourself adequate rest and recovery following any hard days (which can include the Ramp Test).
