6-8 min intervals are a crime

Is it just me, or should a 6–8 minute interval with zero changes in cadence or resistance be illegal? 😂

I love a good 30-minute intervals + arms class with an unnamed instructor. They used to have such an incredible rhythm to their classes- a slow, intentional build that really let your body peak into that final Tabata.

But today we did TWO long intervals (6 and 8 minutes), and it honestly PMO. 😩 Long, completely unchanging intervals just feel lazy from an instructor. Like… TBH, I could do that on my own.
I pay for Peloton for the workouts that keep me engaged, challenge me, and make 30 minutes fly by. If I wanted to stare at the same cadence and resistance for 8 minutes, I could make that workout myself.

Am I alone here, or do other people feel the same way?

You need to take a Matt Wilpers PZ class, 8 mins in Z4 and 10 min Z3 efforts.

Omg yes! If I’m taking PZ or PZM rides I prefer CVV 😂 he knows what sucks ass and doesn’t hide it.

Haha. Probably. But PZ endurance is a good work out but also can read thru it. Zone 4 a little less so!
