How long between each day of intervals, how many rest days? I feel that my profile is similar to Dave's. I have a relatively low threshold. I posted on here before, but I'm just finishing a study at the University where I held 200W for 22 min, then 190W for 19min and 180W for the last 19min. It felt hard, but I would guess my threshold is around 190-200W. They were trying to have me ride at 75% VO2 max. I would like to get my threshold much higher than this.

The maximum powers performed at 5min and 20min is not much influenced by the fact that it is a stationary bike. You’re right about the 5sec power.

I'd put my dollar on higher numbers on a real roadbike with a Powertap/SRM from him. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see his 5s power on that bike closer to around 1050-1200 watts or more, same with every other measurement.
