While, of course, this wouldn't affect my powertap's readings, it certainly did make it hard to keep a high cadence, since the wheel was dragging through the dead spot in my pedal stroke... I'll just have to come back and do this day again in a few weeks. Which is not a very exciting prospect... :) Postscript: when I got on the bike (on the trainer) for day 4 of the program, I noticed that I made a mistake on day 3: my brake was rubbing!

I managed exactly 90% on the first interval, power dropped to about 85% on the second, and the third I had nothing. Thanks for putting out this interesting program; I'll post up with my results in a couple of weeks!

I struggled especially with the first of 3 90% intervals but seemed to have an easier go with the second and third intervals. I have read about how tough Day 12 is. looking forward to the challenge!

I am about to start your VO2 max booster plan. My average watts for 5 mins cycling on my Tacx was 350W. I am trying to understand where that fits in the cycling community. Can you provide any information that would calibrate me. I am male, 47 years old and in regular training. Thanks. Jesper, I am a rower who cycles for the cross training benefit.

I figured you intended to have a shorter warmup, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't misunderstanding the interval section. Thanks Jesper.
