Alright I read an article on a training site (cyclesmart) about latic acid threshold (LT) intervals. They mentioned that there are two ways to do LT intervals, one in a higher ring at lower cadence (mashing) va a lower ring at high cadence (spinning). In the context of criteriums which is a more beneficial LT interval?

By criterium I mean that there is flat or gradual climbing courses where speed (as in velocity) is just as important is power. As I do LT intervals I hope to raise my latic acid tolerance and raise the threshold so I can go faster. This is realted to power so we can not forget that but I am not talking as spinning up a hill like in a road race.

I have a 4 week build period going into my A priority race but I would also like to hang with the pack at a few races I have between then... I want to do as much as I can for speed before then.

All said which interval is going to give me more speed in a criterium...? Thanks
