Another set of Rich Strauss' Power Pulse Intervals today. This workout is a lot more difficult than it may seem. This was a fairly typical PPI workout. Warmed up for about 30 minutes at a low gear and low heart rate, and then launched into the intervals at function threshold (FT) + 5% until my HR reached lactate threshold (LT) + 3-5 beats per minute. Once again, the initial interval took several minutes (~5) to reach the required HR, and the reamaining intervals were relatively short (~ 1 min). Good workout... and tough.
EDIT
I replaced the picture with a Blogger-hosted version. Looks much nicer. Also, it would seem that I misinterpreted Rich's PPI workout. Apparently, I need to be holding my work intervals longer, as the LTHR+ 3-5 bpm is not the "finish line" for an interval. Also, because my FT seems to be a little lower when I'm on the trainer as opposed to outdoor, I need to move my work interval target power down about 15 -20 watts.
