F2 (Hill Sprints)

Simulated on Trainer

I think this is the only location in the world where it can be 81 one day and only a week later 18. Therefore I had to simulate hill sprints on the trainer. The only other time I have performed this workout was outdoors, so I don't have a good reference for comparison. I completed 8 sprints each of approximately 10 seconds each. Following each sprint is a fairly easy recovery until I hit the 5 minute mark from the start of the previous one. The legs felt strong and the average speeds for the 10 second durations were between 35 and 38 mph. The complete results are listed below.

Summary
Duration: 1:20:00
# of Intervals: 8
Interval Duration: 10 sec
Recovery: 04:50

Specifics
Interval 1: 35.5 mph (1044 watts)
Interval 2: 36.1 mph (1091 watts)
Interval 3: 38.3 mph (1278 watts)
Interval 4: 35.7 mph (1059 watts)
Interval 5: 36.6 mph (1132 watts)
Interval 6: 35.7 mph (1059 watts)
Interval 7: 35.3 mph (1028 watts)
Interval 8: 35.5 mph (1044 watts)

Note: It is possible that there is a slight amount of slipping between the rear wheel and the trainer roller, which would result in a higher speed and thus a higher calculated power.
