How to achieve 5w/kg for 30mins?

Trust me when I say this…*

…but that ain’t going to cut it.

25 years ago, I posted this to the old CyclingForum.com:

'Top 10 things I’ve learned using a power meter
10) I shouldn’t lose weight
9) I need big gears
8) I need small gears
7) Strength is irrelevant
6) Don’t start too hard in TTs
5) Train less, rest more
4) Heat acclimatization is critical
3) Specificity
2) SPECIFICITY

  1. SPECIFICITY!"

With respect to the last three, the training plan you have proposed will make somebody good at going hard for 5 min at a time… but the OP’s goal is to increase his 30 min power.

*It’s just a saying!
