  • Has anyone tried varying their cadence whilst interval training?

    I've been breaking up the monotony of my intervals by working my way up down the block, a minute or two in each gear so my cadence might start at say 115rpm then over a 6 minute interval might end up at 70rpm for the same power.

    Just wondered if there's any benefits/implications?

    Going from slow rpm's to high at FTP really hurts.

  • Also yes.

    The ability to produce power at a range of different cadence is the benefit.

  • The stronger guys from my club are doing low cadence sessions as part of their winter turbo training.

    Proper low. 50rpm low.

    I think the idea is to build leg strength. Seems a bit extreme.

    I'm doing variations more like yours. I need to work on cadence, and hopefully the seated low stuff will help me stay seated longer when climing. Mostly I just get bored.
