Had a chance to ride with one of the local pros. He was telling me one of his off season workouts was 2 hours in a 53x12 gear at whatever cadence he could muster.
Any thoughts?
(no response needed from Ric Stern, already know this is stupid just like CTC/LA training....)
go to www.sportsci.org and scroll down to the original research section. the first article is on the positive effects of low cadence/high force interval training on power. the full text is available to read. since my area of expertise is nutrition I'd be interested in what comments, criticisms the ex phys and coaches have on the study.

Those were Andy Coggan's replies to the same study on topica a few weeks ago.
My only two points: 1. It appeared that the control group had a slight fall in power output, which magnifies the improvement and sort of agrees with Andy's 1st statement above. 2. I wasn't aware the Cateye was accurate at measuring power. (or even consistent, which is more important)
