In the world of interval workouts in cycling, nothing sounds quite so welcoming as sweet spot.
It has the ring of your favourite ice cream parlour, rather than the sort of workout that might leave you aching and exhausted. Very different to the clinical 'VO2 max intervals', or the alarming 'back to back over/unders' or, perhaps worst of all, '20 minutes max power test'. (I'll make my excuses now, if you don't mind).
