I am following a Garmin Training Plan and today my suggested training was „6x6 second sprints with maximum intensity“.
After 30min warm-up I should do 6 repetitions of
- cycling zone 2 (lap key)
- cycling zone 1 (10 seconds)
- cycling zone 7 (6 seconds)
- cycling zone 1 (5 minutes)
After these 6 intervals I should cycle 67 minutes in zone 2.
What sounds strange to me is the very short 6 second effort surrounded by 5 minutes recovery - where is the effort here?
In the training description Garmin writes:
„2 hour training, full warm-up. 6 minutes (!) full sprint velocity, 5 minutes recovery, repeat 6 times. Last hour cycle in zone 2.“
So 6 seconds versus 6 minutes zone 7? Doesn‘t make sense to me. Either there is a typo in the description or in the training numbers.
Or do I interpret something wrong?
