I'd like to hear people's opinions on what intensity to do 30sec intervals at - and # reps / recovery times. I've read recently these two workouts:
a) 3 sets of 8 reps at 110% MAP w 1:00 Recovery between reps and 3:00 recovery between sets
b) 1 set of 12 reps at to 175% Peak Power Output with 4:30 Recovery
My Functional Threshold is 290 Watts and my MAP is 400 Watts and I'm not sure exactly what Peak Power Output means but my CP5sec = 980 Watts but I don't see how I could do 175% of that!!!
thanks in advance
