3 x 20 mins @ sweet spot = 60mins @ sweet spot?

without progressively adding volume you’re going to be doing maintenance, not improving long term.

You are either trying to move your power UP or OUT, as in doing 20min at progressively higher power or doing the same initial power but at longer times, 30-40-60mins.

TR tries to both at the same time. Take SSBMV for instance. First workout is 3x12 @85% and last workout (in SSBMV2) is 3x30 @90%.

Sweet Spot Training: which amount of time matters?

Hi! With regard to Sweet Spot Training, I was wondering: which amount of time spend at Sweet Spot matters? Is it all about the total amount of time ridden at Sweet Spot during the whole workout? Or is it the duration of one Sweet Spot interval that matters? For example: consider a 4x10 minute Sweet Spot workout (Antelope -4) and a 2x20 minute Sweet Spot workout (Eichorn). Is one of them more effective or preferable? Do they provide the same training stimulus? Thanks!
