I've been doing L4 intervals for 10 weeks now during the winter. The weather should break in a month or two and I am starting to do a little L5. A coach told me that my indoor trianing should simulate my road rides and where I live there aren't many hills, so I've been doing what I call cruise intervals. I'll do 7 minutes at about 90% ftp and 3 minutes at 115% ftp and repeat a few times. The workout is continuous so it's got a fair amount of low L4 or high L3 and a little L5 as well. My question is this: Are the "rest" intervals too long? From reading this forum I notice that most people do them with shorter rest intervals. Any advantage to that? Is my way better in that I also get a fair amount of SST?
Thanks
