I have done a couple of sessions with 30 s intervals/ 60 s rest for an hour (=40 intervals/30 s). 30 s at FTP 150% and 60 s at "selfselected" power. I have so far ended up with a NP within a few watts of my current FTP (4,35 w/kg). So the stress equals an hour at FTP, so far so good.
But, if I'm able to increase the NP for the hour, have my FTP increased as well?
Or am I "just" getting better using my anaerobic capacity? -Is the "on" part really sufficient to increase anaerobic capacity (30 s at 150 % FTP)?
It is also known that short sprints stimulates mitochondria biogenesis, but is 150% FTP enough to acheive this?
Is this more about of "adopting" than "developing"? /crit training/
Any thoughts/comments/reactions wellcome!
