Hej jesper
What is the difference really to ride 3 + 3 or 40 + 20?
what is the most effective?
and again what is the difference to ride 40 + 20 30 + 30? Are we so into something tolerance?

I’m just doing some research at school on cycling training. After reading your website I felt the need to ask you some questions as you clearly have a great understanding of the sport.
Interval and continuous training obviously dominate the traning of an athlete but why do these best suit the sport?
How are the physiological training adaptations measured and monitored?
Are there any safe or potentially harmful training procedures? apart from the obvious overtraining.
I sure any feedback you could give me would be helpful. thanks heaps!

Excellent website ! Great information here…quick question, How long or how many hours do you recommend resting in between each 3×3 session? Also do you know what the top level Master riders watt measurements are for something like this? I don’t know if that is a relevant question but I thought I’d ask anyways…thanks a lot!

@IIan – Both types of intervals will increase your vo2 max as long as your heart rate reaches sufficient levels. Though, my recommendation is to keep your pedaling frequency in the range of 90 to 110rpm during most intervals.
