105-110%
Only the couple of times I was doing sharpening efforts before hill climbs but they were shorter, maybe 3-5min and went up to maybe 120%?

4x8's at about 105-110% (recovery 1' between sets)?
they are quick and not too tiring
Something is wrong here. I do 6x7 at my 20minute FTP with 5' recovery. It's sheer hell and requires a significant amount of mental preparation and HTFU to get through. I'm pretty wrecked by the end of it.

Also, while I'm at it. Does anyone do 4x8's at about 105-110% (recovery 1' between sets)?
There was a discussion on another forum that suggested they were not effective as they fell in between working on increasing FTP and vo2. Doing neither very well.
I've been using them as midweek sessions to boost ftp, as they are quick and not too tiring.
Are they a waste of time though?
