I have to look at my data to find the NP, I know on the flat section, I was over 300w at about 22-23 MPH most of the time, but the numbers would help greatly (some of this is why i really wanted the first post to get up here).
I like the idea of using the first half of a rep to stay at my old number and using the second half to be at the new number, it makes more sense and won't be as shocking.
My HR drops in under a minute to a "normal", just riding alone pace, from about any effort. What seems to wreck me more is heat management on a trainer. I get so hot that my heart rate stays high even when I'm trying to go easy, and when I try to go hard, my heart rate skyrockets way too quickly.
