To clarify, the declining ladders study cited involved decreasing time for each interval, but the intensity of each interval remains constant. Using TrainerRoad’s Workout Creator, I attempted to write a workout like used in the study by Vacarri and his colleagues with invervals of 3, 2, 1 minute, then 45, 30, 20 seconds. I used 120% of FTP for the intensity, although I could not tell from the study how they determined power. The study also said the ladders were repeated until exhaustion. I added a rest period in between, in part because otherwise I couldn’t make it to the end of an hour workout, I’m sure!
@canserbero Did your workout look anything similar to this?
