Set a new PR for 3 minutes during my 75/30/75 x 4 intervals, the middle 30 seconds is not rest, but at 80% threshold, long rest between efforts. It was suppose to be x6, but I think I went out too...

I think that explains the 90% SST in TT mode that some are calling intervals vs the tempo ride version of the SST where power varies a lot more. It is made even worse for me as I do long TTs at 90%...

Intervals for me vary by length. 2 x 20 min or 4 x 8 to 10 min or 6 x 2 to 5 min; longer breaks in the middle of each. With 1m and under I usually work them into other hard days and don't do many...

This is very true. Heart rate, IMO, is a great indicator of how hard your interval was at the end, but is the worst ever way to gauge your progress during. All intervals except sprint level...

90% FTP is something you can do for much longer than an hour, so if you are doing 20 min efforts, it should be an effort, at or over 100% in my book. If you are working on SST/sub FTP it should be...
