The argument (as I've heard it) isn't that LSD doesn't work, but rather that if you don't have 30 hours/week like most non-pros with jobs, then the hours you do have are better spent on SST and threshold work. The article abstract sort of sets up a straw man in this regard. I don't think most people here would actually claim that "brief, high-intensity interval work is the ...

Shayne, please tell me you weight like 400 lbs? You can always estimate your FTP to give you a ballpark from a 15 minute effort. Though, you'll almost always be more accurate the longer your effort is (up to an hour I guess). When you get your power-meter next week ride around for a few days, then hammer a 20 minute effort, multiply by 0.95 and that'll ...
