Hi All, I did Williamson +2 today, my version with a bit of recovery tacked on at the end. This is considered as an Anaerobic session and I thought it might end up to be harder than some of the VO2 workouts but actually not and my HR was not as high as expected. The original version had IF @ 0.91 bu…

I don’t want to come off wrong or like an a&& but the workout notes should answer some of those questions. I haven’t done this workout yet but the workout notes say ” high cadence of 100-120rpm, higher watts, higher spin “

In that case I wonder why all the anaerobic workouts in the TR library do not take this longer recovery principle into account. Maybe because we’re endurance athletes at the end of the day and not pure anaerobic athletes.

So I have my first anaerobic (San Joaquin) workout scheduled for next week Due to commitment’s/ holiday I’m trying to get this session on the trainer, if that’s the case, I’m thinking of switching off ERG mode and just going all out for each interval. 15 seconds on 45 seconds recovery. I leave the…

15 on/45 off won’t be that brutal. I agree that you should turn off erg or take it outside. Just kick it hard and have fun with it :muscle:
