You have no idea what you're missing if you haven't tried this virtualpower (or real power) based workouts, with hard objective numbers to show your improvement. No more guessing at how hard you should go, no more guessing as to how much you're improving. Do the initial FTP test, and your training is laid out for you down to the watt, and it works. It's easily the best $10/month you can spend on your bike if you actually want to get faster, bar none.

Start with Intermediate Base 1 plan and you'll see what I'm talking about firsthand.
