The usual thing is to do two 20' LT intervals with 5 minutes cool-down between. See the sticky at the top of this forum. Yes, it takes practice to figure out what that should feel like. Don't forget recovery - actually the most important part. It is said that one should ride either much harder than seems reasonable or much easier than seems reasonable.
