Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

gradient is meaningless, it depends on effort.

VO2 max intervals should be five minutes long at most, with equal amount of time "off" between sets

If you have a long-ass mountain road, then it's a FTP type, and you pace yourself accordingly (4x10, 3x15, 2x20, etc)
