Why is rest between intervals (almost) always at 40% ftp?

My topic on improving saddle comfort can translate to the long rides well. Little surprise that a rocker plate in parties is a key suggestion from me. :wink:

That and regular standing breaks Iike MI-XC ( covered in the link) are key. Add in some low cadence segments and there’s a number of tricks to help. I do a 3 hour trainer ride every Sunday like this.
