  4. Hi guys, been cycling for just over a year (MTB). And now seriously want to start following a training plan. Problem is that i don't fully understand them. I don't fully understand : - Power training - Intervals - How do i on certain days and certain rides keep my HR from going over a certain perc ( i do have a HR monitor) before i know it, i have passed that HR perc - Threshold power - Recovery rides - What to do on the days when you cant train due to work / family Any other tips and advice
  5. Planing on selling the 405 and getting a all rounder.
  6. I currently use a garmin forruner 405 and works perfectly for cycling and running and does what i need, namely Shows stats like speed, distance,HR, HR zones, average etc Is waterproof Shows cadence and altetute Uploads to strava The one thing missing is the ability to use it with HR monitor as gym/fitness watch. Any ideas on a make and model that will satisfy all 3 functions? Possibly also swimming?

  16. When i cycle in afternoons 3 to 6 its hot as hell.. My prob is that it feels like my head goes up a few deg in heat...afterwards i sometimes get head ache which i presume is from the 2 or 3 hours in te sun and heat. What can i do to cool down during rides? I tried using a bandana that i wet but also doesn't really work.
