    But what if you’re already good enough for all the mid-race intervals and just wanna train your final attack…?

    Hey, nice read. I see a lot of guys doing 30″/30″ intervals and I always tell them that they are of no use. Never seen a race situation requiring that skill either 🙂
    Just a question, why do those intervals (race prep) on the indoor trainer? I’ve always stuck by doing them on a flat road and preferably with a tail wind (in a 53/16) so as to keep your speed at a racing equivalent and your heart rate up there too. It takes +/- one minute to reach HR threshold value which is why one minute efforts are almost worthless !

      When doing short intervals with heart rate (anything under two minutes) you have to note in your head what the perceived effort is at threshold. Then when you start the interval you ride at that perceived effort and ignore HR. If your pushing hard to get to threshold in that one minute you’re actually going above threshold and not doing the correct training.

      The one minute interval is not worthless. Heart rate data is what’s worthless in the one minute interval. That’s why training with power is so much better. You get instant feedback as to how much power your putting into the pedals and not having to wait for your heart to catch up to what your muscles are doing.

        i agree, it’s not worthless and does have its place, especially of you are going into a race in really good shape and looking to taper, or expecting a lot of short attacks on a mountain race. and yes power is better than a HRM, but not better, ultimately, than feeling it 😉 for me anyway

    My training consists of two weeks on, one week rest. In my two weeks on I almost never repeat the same interval sessions. And at least one of the interval sessions is done on roads that are not straight and are not flat. Well at least not flat for North Texas. As far as Saturday group rides go it’s I always try to get them to start riding out with the wind at their backs. I tell them it’s good training to fight the wind back in because races ain’t ever easy at the end.

    The way many cyclists think seems to reflect the way long distance runners thought 50 years ago. It might make sense to study the way athletes in other disciplines train. The head trainer of Sky was a swimming coach before he got hired by the cycling team, for example.

    Further, a-specific (i.e. non-specific) training can sometimes be good (I did 60 metre sprints as a high level ultra long distance runner, for example). However, it all depends on your background as an athlete, what you’ve done so far, what you’re training for, et cetera. You wouldn’t want a beginning cyclist to do 5 x 10 min at 95% of their maximum, for example, whilst it could be very effective for a well trained cyclist.

    By the way, every average-intelligent cyclist knows nowadays that simply doing mileage on the bike, or spending hours in the saddle, is not effective.

      depends if you mean bike intelligence or intelligence intelligence, cos i’ve met guys who do do 500km a week and the same distance almost daily.

      as for using old methods, agreed, similar to LSD training, taken from cycling, too time-consuming to be done properly by anyone other than a FT pro, and with alternative methods to achieve similar results, kind of silly…
