A pomodoro kitchen timer, after which the method is named. The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. The technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. These intervals are named pomodoros, the plural in English of the Italian word pomodoro (tomato), after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer that Cirillo used as a university student.
As always, listen to your body. If you need a break then itâs more than ok to stop! Your total workout time is the amount of time that you are actually working out. If you take three 5 minute breaks during your workout then just try to fit an additional 15 minutes to the end of your ride. The goal of long rides is to eventually ride the entire time without stopping. In due time you will make it there but in the meanwhile try progressing to shorter and fewer breaks.
