With Sunday's planned road race canceled, I wasn't quite sure what to do this weekend for training. With only four weeks to go until my final race, just doing distance didn't seem right. I decided to do some 30 second intervals followed by SST for a total time of about 2 hours. This might help prepare me for some upcoming crits. Tomorrow I'll get on the TT bike and maybe do some work at around threshold.I felt really strong today and averaged around 500 watts for 4 sets of 4 x 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off. After a three minute rest I rode 56 minutes of SST at 260w AP, 266w NP, 23.1 mph and I was holding back to save myself for my TT bike ride tomorrow. As I write this I'm polishing off my third Sierra Nevada pale ale, so I better stop, drink some water and get some rest.

Ugh, hate those...you're doing a heck of a lot more leadout than me. I'm wussing out with 5 set 8x:15 on :15 off 1 minute between.
That's 40 15sec efforts...sounds pretty hard to me. My 4 sets of 4 x 30/30 really doesn't seem like much more than an openers workout. I'm taking 3 1/2 minutes of rest between sets.
