Yes. Start with 3x10 or 3x5 minutes at a couple gears higher than you would otherwise go up a hill, or on a spinning bike / trainer. You want to be mashing. Your pulse should be about 10 below LT, not really really high if you d o not know your LT. For me, that's 160.

Work up to 3x20.... you have all winter.... it's a one hour workout and it's one of the best tips i got in coaching.
