Hi everyone,
My (82kg, 176cm, male) power profile is very sprint-focused. Short efforts (15–30s) are relatively strong, but my 2–5 min and longer sustained power (climb / endurance) are much weaker.
I’m guessing this is because of how I ride (short hard efforts, indoor riding, not much steady work), but I wanted to ask:
Why does this happen, and what’s the simplest way to improve the other parts of my power profile without killing my sprint?
Any advice is appreciated.

Assuming the numbers are correct, this shows your aerobic system is weaker than your anaerobic system.
Anything over 1m is mostly aerobic.
This is not uncommon for beginers.
You fix it by doing more aerobic efforts.
