Be sure your body is rested, this is like a short race effort. Allen and Coggan's protocol is as follows in Exercises & Intervals be sure to hit view intervals
20 MINUTE WARM UP easy
3 X 1 MIN SPIN UPS WITH 1 MINUTE REST (increase intensity and rpms to 100-120rpm)

10 MINUTE COOLDOWN
Sample Day 4
25 mins very easy cap top of Z1 would like half of this as a walking effort and preferably on a soft surface to mitigate ground reaction force and impact stress. This is a great workout to do on a hiking or nature trail. Don't get sluggish in cadence because of the easy nature of this workout. Goal Cadence should still be around 90 steps per minute.
Think of this as sharpening the saw. It should make you feel better not trying to get anything accomplished here but just facilitating recovery
