Ah, coaches. Rowing club, several intervals in to some ridiculous workout:"Come on Proven, get that pace back below 2:00, I know you can do better than that!"
I've found Billatts such as TR's Gendarme relatively easy.

Ideas of course developed for runners rather than cyclists though. The 60:60 session works really well for me as long as I push a higher power than the paper suggests. I do this session once a week and the classic 5x3' Billat's once a week too, my other regular session is a Seiler 4x8'.
Just did Solomons. Always surprised to finish on target. A few more seconds on the last interval would have defeated me.
310 in a single day is seriously impressive. I think I would probably be dead to do 250 in 2.5 hours.
Very nice.I did my endurance workout yesterday, so 64km and 1200m of climb with VO2 max efforts going over the tops. Seriously? The VO2max efforts only happened in the last 15km and were definitely sub par.TSS for the ride was 290 and another 89 today gives me 683 for the week. Not bad for a 58 year old.
