I have a problem. My power has stagnated since May. I was seeing some improvements late last season (my first) and early this season. But my average power on hills and in general has not increased in months. I've been doing hill intervals this season, and I took a minute to look back at those workouts. Here is a sample from April:

and from June:

and finally, July:

Notice anything? Pretty much all of my hill interval workouts this season show the same trend where I'm unable to finish the workout (e.g. all intervals in the target power range).
I'm guessing my target power range is too high? Or is this normal for folks out there doing hill repeats?
I need to figure out how to boost my power by 10-15% on climbs here in New England. Otherwise I'll continue to get dropped like a fat ass in every road race.
