Hi Mr.Friel
I have read the bible and frequently get back it, it's just amazing with respect to received information per page, briefly. Thank you for such a work of art.
I am also who struggle to elavete my HR, especially, If I didn't hit my LTHR during that week. For example, I did long and intense workout in Friday. Then in next day, I was in Z1-Z2 but high resistance with low cadance on hills as 4 set, again I wasnt able to hit Z4. Today, I had a 3 sets of 20 minutes Zone 3 effort on flat. But I felt like I'm hitting my zone 4 or 5a. Because of this, after I completed first set which was 12 minute in zone 3 and 8 minute in zone 2, I was forced to change today's training as recovery ride. I think this was resulted due to tired muscles. I wonder what your thoughts are?

However, a set includes 3 minutes force interval with cadance of lower than 50 rpm and 2-3 minutes recovery. I felt very powerful especially when I did this bike on strength workout instantly after leg weight training in gym. Would you recommend this type of "bridge-ish" workout? Are my total sets and times enough or should be increased?
Note that, normally, the day after maximum strenght workout in gym, I feel pure lactic acid in my legs. However, when I did this bridge workout, I recovered perfectly and felt only that raw strength during pedaling
Force Reps
There have been a lot of comments asking about the “force reps” workout described in my last post about Base 1 training. And since many readers receive my blog as an RSS feed they may not have seen my replies to those questions. So I’ll describe this workout in more detail here. First of all—the...
