The 15sec on 15 sec off x 6 min bursts should be done 1 set per hour through the Session at a max exertion of 90% of your full load seated sprint (NO STANDING) . This type of exercise will help improve your neuromuscular capacity. Try and keep those watts/hr. consistent through the session, uphill, downhill around corners etc. etc. Be safe!

The only difference in the Sunday session this week is that the burst are every 4min instead of 5min last week. The 10sec interval should be in a 53×17 or 16 during the 120min wherever they arrive and when you’ve completed that get a big expresso in a coffee shop, load up and jump on for the last 60mins home(Don’t get cold hanging around talking crap). Clean out the legs with warm down.
%FTP means Percentage of Functional Threshold power FTHR means Percentage of Functional Threshold Heart Rate
Next week I will add another two sessions and your feedback is greatly appreciated.
