As I said, I'm not using the workout as recovery yet. When I start using the workout as recovery I'll probably drop below 120 since sustained efforts near 120 take me up past Zone 2 no matter what gear I'm in. I'll have to try that air cushion idea, sounds interesting.

Precisely why I started the workout. From the ILT I can tell my technique is reasonably smooth, but it could be better.
