Hey guys, I’m doing this workout a little later and I am bricking it just at the thought of repeatedly Pushing 120% over my ftp for 30 secs (14 times and interval X 3 )! Is it as hard or harder than over unders as those are my nemesis?! Yours in fear Terry :joy::joy:

[image] kurt.braeckel: I was pedaling at 100-105rpm (self-selected is between 90-95rpm). I do those at 110, usually, and my self-selected is in the lower range of yours (around 90+). When I go up to 110, I notice a difference, but I’m sure we all work differently. Enjoy your new trainer!

Oh yes! 5rpm more and you’ll be pushing a different hr zone!

Taylor-2 was my first VO2 max workout and I agree; I was looking at the workout description the day before thinking, man that looks hard… I really hope I don’t crash.

Just finished. Had my pc die and did it off a Garmin. Drilled it. I have a hard time staying in v02…I always trend over so I was worried that I wouldn’t finish but I did. (Note I used resistance even before the pc crashed vs erg)

Well done, glad it went well! :grinning:

I personally found Taylor-2 & Genadarme +1 really targetted my quads more. I had much more of a burn in those than my lungs

I found the same. The intervals aren’t long enough to ramp the heart rate up fully, but long enough to load the legs with lactate.

Second set cranked to +5% and started to get something out of it, but still wasn’t getting into the VO2 haze tha…

You haven’t posted enough data to allow folks to help you more with a response. Is your FTP too low? If you aren’t digging deep to complete VO2 max workouts then something isn’t set up right at your end.

Ramp was last week. WKO4 model is within 2W of my ramp result. I doubt my FTP is 10% off. Sweet Spot feels about right.
