So, no, 85rpm for me is not anywhere near my max. The point is to get your body to be oxygen starved, to go anaerobic.
By the end of the workout, you should be gasping for air. Given my pulmonary issues, that's not much of an accompllshment, I fear
It's a good drill. I'm glad you brought it up. I could have done it one gear harder I think. But prob not three times. I will tell my coach when I see him and see how he views it.
Note how the HR line (red)reacts.... Interesting.
