I have followed this program with good results. I have a question for the 3×5x(40+20)sec. V02 max intervals. I am training with a powermeter, my FTP is 330w. Shall I sprint at the start, or trying to keep stable watt figures? And how many percent of my FTP shall i try to reach? Thanks.. Hi Jesper.

Do you recommend to do a mix of intervals? Regards, Jesper,

I would probably choose to do intervals on wednesdays in you case. 3x5x(40+20)sec is 3 sets of 5 intervals of 40 seconds with 20seconds rest between each interval. Between each set there is a recovery period of 5 to 15 minutes. Best regards, Jesper Diego,

Last year, I was just putting miles on my body to get used to the motion and prepare myself to start racing this year. I am comitted to spend 18 hours during the racing season, and I have a training plan for Jan and Feb since I have only been doing weight training during the winter as well as riding just during the weekends. I have some comments about this plan. Since almost all the races have two events, Crits on Saturday and Road Races on Sunday, what is your suggestion to accomodate this training plan for that? The second question is that since I am not used to read this training plans, I cannot understand all the abbreviations in it? As an Example, 3x5x (40+20). Any clarifications will be greatly appreciated. Regards, Hi,
