Did a workout yesterday that I've not attempted before, called Gilbert... 4 x 10 minute intervals, each starts just below FTP and slowly ramps in the second half to 115% FTP. Nasty. Very nasty. Supposed to be good for muscular endurance.http://www.trainerroad.com/cycling/rides/1359121-Gilbert-

The first 5 mins of each interval before the ramp starts inspires that 'oh shit there's a really steep hill approaching' feel that you get when outdoors.

Sounds like an easy version of Clarence King, which is brutal. Only ever finished it by doing the whole thing at 95% intensity.

Back at it this morning. Came here for inspiration but you all seem to dread it as much as I do.

Looked at Clarence King, and yes, Gilbert, the one I do, is 4 rather than 6 reps. Did Gilbert again earlier... Doing 6 sets of those ramps just sounds disgusting.
