How would you classify this ride?
Yesterday, inside again secondary to crummy weather and I couldn't get myself to do any long L4/5 intervals mentally. Ended up doing 1 hour alternating 2 minutes at IF of 0.85 with one minute with IF 1.1. The total ride had an IF of 0.93. My question is how would you classify this ride from a standpoing of expected physiologic benefit? L3 or L4? Is VO2 max worked at all with the harder intervals just being a minute long?

For your indoor ride, I'm guess that NP and AP were nearly the same, right? So, an AP of .93xFTP falls within L4. Keep in mind that the physiological benefits of L3 and L4 are very similar. |

Re: How would you classify this ride?
French,
It's interesting because the ride seemed a lot easier to me than a 0.93 straight up hour would have been. I also feel stronger for some reason after similar efforts. Just thinking out loud. It's good that the ride is an hour of L4. I "wish" it had some L5 adaptations associated with it. I guess that's just "wishful thinking." |
