This days workout was called Cirque - and it was another anaerobic sprint/interval workout. In this case, it was 7 interval sets, varying from 120 to 150% FTP, with intervals within sets varying between 15s and 45s - the longer intervals being those at 120% FTP. Each interval had a 15s rest period in between, and it's amazing how just that 15s really helps clear blood out and re-energize the legs. But as is usual with these workouts, by the time you get to the end (a little before it, actually) - yes, you can do the sprints but your legs are starting to feel the fatigue and they really don't want to continue. So the 15s is just enough to make your legs feel better and to bring the HR down a few beats, but short enough that it really builds throughout the workout.
