Usually I vary my intervals depending on what I'm trying to improve/ maintain. Tonight is cruise shifting intervals where I will ride high Z4 for a minute, then change down a gear and increase effort to Z5a/b for 30 seconds. Repeat for 30 minutes (20 sets)
Ha, that's what i'm doing tonight since its snowy here and i'm not risking riding outside. Although mine is 4 x 8 mins changing every min/30 secs, then 2 min recovery. By the time my cool down comes around, i need to get off the rollers to take off the resistance! ๐Ÿ™‚

Ah cheers. Until now I've been treating those hours as a method of riding as fast as I can over the distance, worrying all the time about ride averages.

I think I'll try 15 minutes warm up, then 4 on, 2 off X 4 with a 15 min cool down also, and use the weekend ride as a Z2 for distance (usual loop is 60 - 80km) then.

First time doing them for me so need to gauge how hard they are before I change the timings. Will be doing mine outside tonight. I have a nice flat local stretch of road that runs along a valley of about 15 miles which is prefect for sessions like this. 20 minute ride out, do session then ride home as a warm down.
