Recently I started to do LT and vo2 intervals. I space out my intervals with at least one rest/recovery day in between and I recover between intervals with at least a 1:1 ratio (15 min int. 15 min recover).
My question pertains to how much pain I should be feeling at the end of an LT and vo2 interval. I have found gearings that I can pedal at around 90 rpm for either 15ish minutes or about 4 minutes. For about the first quarter of both intervals the resistance feels good and for the last minute or two of both intervals I pretty much just will myself on until I can will no more .
Is this the proper way to do intervals or should I take it a little easier?
Thanks
