    i suppose more explosive power for the final sprint across the line in cat 4 races you must excuse my ignorance training programs aren't my strong point, time scale is not important i just want to improve it

    Sprint on the road, not your turbo. I couldn't imagine sprinting all out on a turbo. I'd expect to do some damage.

    Try some 30s all out sprints on the road on a slight incline with a 2-3min recovery period. Repeat 8-10 times. Bit late now though and there's not much point in doing them now for racing next season.
    More problems but still living....
  • 4 minutes at 85% is too low surely? 20 minutes at 85% if that's your chosen level, or 6 minutes more like 90-92% of MHR
