Today there were fewer intervals because it is a rest week. Rest weeks should consist of the same type of workouts and intensity, but a bit shorter.

Today I actually felt less ‘fresh’ than last week, but am pleased with the overall higher power output. I also set a new 20 second personal best at 759 watts (during interval #2). My previous best was 741 watts set on 9/15/2009.

Next week I will start doing 90 second intervals.
