I get most my intervals from the jumbo visma academy guys like Jesse Kramer, Darren van Bekkum etc. They seem to do a lot of 1.5 minute intervals with about 2 minutes rest. A typical session is 2 sets off 4x 1.5 min with 2 minutes rest and full recovery between sets. They do the 1.5 min effort at what looks like as close to max 5 min power as possible. Quite an interest approach I think and something I am currently trying out.
If you look at his training leading up to 2022 tour where he had the mega day stage 17, he would do 3 1 hour blocks at tempo. 3 blocks of 1 hour at 355 which is just insane, only 12min rest between them as well
while the profile on strava looks quite spikey i think the elevation in U.S. is typically quite shallow so holding back uphill and then railing the shallow descent, its' possible. the graph is deceptive, the real grade of those climbs when Charlie was scrolling through the files was 2-3%.
Those are some some flat power graphs! Not much freewheeling going on there. Takes discipline but worth it for the gains. Any little recoveries make long endurance rides less effective IMO

i think i could write a whole book about mcnulty's power data
wow his power is insane, how does he keep it stable downhill? i free wheel a lot downhill

@@MichaelBoogerd ah okay that makes a lot more sense, thanks!
Brandon is a damn diesel engine lol, just keeps going

It really isn't hard, takes barely any discipline lol
@@BevandEdMusic Well, yeah, mostly. Doing it for 20 hours a week would eventually feel grim though.
@@BevandEdMusic Riding on small and steep European roads is different. I absolutely have to freewheel very often.
my ftp is not even at his hard zone2 power loool
