Hey guys,
I'm about to embark on a month's block of 2x20 training. With the way work is, I'll be doing most of the workouts on the trainer in the mornings before I head to the office.
I've never done a 20-minute interval on a trainer, preferring to keep them shorter. But after hearing so much about them on here, I'm going to try them out.
My question is, when doing 2x20s, how often do you all usually shift up or down into higher and lower gears...to simulate undulating terrain? I've never been on terrain that was an even gradient for 20 minutes, so I'm just assuming that some shifting to simulate different force requirements is something necessary.
But is my thinking off with this? Should I just put it into a gear I'm comfortable in and hold the same cadence, making sure I'm holding my L4 wattage for the duration of the interval?
