Right I’m thinking Hill climb season might run. Therefor considering how to train, would be my first attempt. For reference I’m 37, 75kg and about 190cm. Current FTP is ~260w max HR about 175.

I’ve been up College Road and Swains the last week, averaged ~450w for ~3 mins.
Was thinking of V02 and over and unders.

Also thought about making some custom interval sessions around ~450 for two mins.
Any value in this?

6w/kg for 3 mins is great. Don't have any training tips I'm afraid, I just use Trainer Road, though might try Clinterval closer to race season. Used to do Swains reps years ago, structure on the turbo is much more effective for me.

I bet loads of strong TTers that normally poo-poo HCs are gonna smash hills this season.

Ok well thats reassuring at least I won't make a total fool of myself.
Yeah I agree I seem to respond quite well to turbo training.
I'd imagine so. Best place to find a list of events?
