Firstly, well done to Pee Jay for successfully ‘everesting‘ Beeley Moor over the weekend. I believe he was 3rd UK rider to complete this unique challenge.
If you want to see a decent interval session, have a look at his graphs for his ride on Strava
Peter Johnson with Dave Brailsford who happened to be in the area.
- 195 miles
- 30,000 + Ft
- 13 hours

I had a weekend off racing. I was marshalling at the Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence ‘tri a triathlon’ in Portishead.
Because I wasn’t racing, naturally enough it was a float day with pb’s set across the country.
One pb of particular note was Movistar Pro Alex Dowsett smashing the 10 Competition record taking a whopping 25 seconds off to reduce the 10 mile TT mark to 17.20. That’s an average speed of 34.5 mph or something suitably ridiculous. A great ride by a top pro.
Today I did seven * one minute intervals up Boars Hill. That’s 7 minutes of training, but my mind was wandering to the idea of everesting something.
Someone has done it on edge hill. Not too far from you I believe?

17:20 is mindblowing!! I couldn’t do that dropping off an alpine climb
