I started to experiment with microintervals. Thanks to i-Magic can program them as 10/10 sek for 20 min. Now I think about replacing "standard" L4 2x20 min with these.
Based on Andy's original idea i think that if I do microintervals at average power close to my FTP, then I benefit the same "metabolical" benefits. Raising LT is important to me. At the same time, due to much higher "on" power I gain additional neuromuscular adaptations. This is important too, cause I lack neuromuscular power. I'm not a TTer but MTB biker, so doing LT work at variable power output should be even more specific for me.
So, based on the above, is it better for me to do 2x20 min microintervals than steady 2x20 min L4 work?
