I enjoy the hills and with the folks I ride with I'm comparatively good. However, when they ramp up the pace between the hills I sometimes have to dig deep to keep pace. I'm looking to increase my sustainable power to make me a better rounded rider...
Spring/summer the local velodrome runs Tuesday night open road bike sessions which is going to give me a good two hour training window. Should I just sit in heart rate zone-3 for the duration or should I throw in some intervals of some sort?
I don't race, this is purely for the fun of cycling. Will carry on doing hill-work, commuting, general riding as well.
Thanks

I'd ride mainly below 75 percent of your max heartrate and throw in some 10/20 min intervals with 5/10 min easy pedaling in between. Do them as hard and consistent as you can. If you want to do something different warm up for 20 mins and then do a 1 hour Interval at your FTP. Hope i helped you

I'd also suggest intervals, but shorter ones. Check out the short > long interval thread! A sequence of short 30s sprints will increase your 1h power.
