Should i go off speed(mph) or HR or Cadence....HELP!! So if someone could point me in the direction of some literature on interval training that helped them or something would be great. (this is for road cycling by the way)
A few questions first:

1) How much riding are you doing? How many workouts per week, how far?
2) How long have you been doing this?
3) What are your goals for the year?
4) Why are you interested in interval training?
5) What are your weaknesses that you want to improve?
