Guys, can we have some insight into "big gear" / "steady-state slope" interval training: Thinking:
What is the difference - in training effect - between "big gear" intervals ridden on the flat, and "steady-state" intervals on a 5 to 6 degree slope. (i.e. we are not talking general training on hills per se)
Is the training effect pretty much the same (between the two types of sessions?)
To what extent (if at all) do you fast guys use them? (What benefits have you found?)
Do you prefer "big gear" training on flat, or "steady-state slope" intervals (and why). And, whereabouts would you use them in your buildup to your racing season ..
Cheers: DHRB
