I’d do vO2 max intervals any day over an 1:30 of 50-60% FTP. So boring, my bum hurts. It’s worth it though, you need down time.

Today was Hunter - two hours of tedium.
Not related to today’s session, I can get a spin going for form sprints. I tend to be averaging around 100rpm cadence across different workouts. But trying to get a 500 watt or more resistance is problematic for short bursts.

Yeah, realistically I do. Have generally felt pretty tired since my final big session last Saturday. Maybe not helped by having Monday off and going out for a 'gravel' ride in the heat when I probably should have been resting.
It has taken a lot of willpower not to sack off the resting and go for a 200km ride this weekend though, everyone was doing bigguns yesterday and making me jealous :/
I've got Wednesday off post-FTP test and going for a ride with a friend, I'm pretty much thinking after that I'm just going to enjoy riding outside again and start upping the mileage. Don't really want to sit in the cellar all summer.

You're definitely not the only one who's not overly keen on low cadence high torque work (waves). On the form sprints, I don't think I've managed to get above 170rpm. Also in ERG mode. Maybe I should be pushing a bigger gear?
But I suspect the fact I ride gears all the time now and constantly average about 90rpm means I've lost the ability to spin fast I used to have when I actually rode fixed :/
I'm in the final recovery week before a ramp test on Tuesday and I actually find the lack of work/proper effort a bit frustrating -like I'm going backwards - but know I should stick with it.
