Sup!
Been back riding seriously for six months or so. I've found recently in my workouts that my legs give out on intervals long before I am actually that tired aerobically.
For example, When I do 3-4min vo2 intervals around 120% FTP, I sometimes find them very difficult to complete not because I am huffing and puffing or my HR is incredibly high (last night got up to 86 percent max HR) but because I lose strength in my legs.
Is this normal? I feel like sometimes these types of efforts should be as hard on a HR basis as they seem to be for my leg strength. Am I looking at things the wrong way, or do I need to take a different approach to training to correct for this?
Thanks for any wisdom.
