I'm a bit old School (well just old really). If my legs dont burn it cant possibly be making me stronger. So it felt well odd to me.
But the last 3 years I've started the season With a cycling holiday somewhere warm and lumpy. This year I was much better prepared after my Winter of SS.
Also Nibberittet (21km Climb from sea Level to to 1500m) results.
2015 - 1:34, 168bpm AvHR (old FTHR was 168, set New of 169), 249w
2016 - 1:27, 169bpm AvHR (very nearly 169bpm), 261wThe time difference will have been partly Down to weight loss. Plus the Power difference is exagerated because the extra 7 mins at altitude would have been at low Power pulling it Down.
But I was definitely stronger. Thats having spent Winter watching spring clasics and mildly suffering on the turbo. Instead of smashing my self doing VO2 intervals til my ears bleed.

I'm glad to hear the pushing up works, that's what I'm trying at the moment and it feels odd not to be harder, shorter intervals.
