Hey everyone. In response to HR zone, I have the following question: Per the program: (sub 4 hour, week 3, sunday) Warm up 45 min zone 2 and 3: Follow with 3 x 10 minutes of seated climbing on moderate gradient. Keep cadence low (50-60) and keep HR below zone 4 throughout. When I cycle up a hill, there is no way for me to keep my hear rate below 80%. Even when I was very fit last year, being able to do the argus in 3:40, my hear rate remains very variable, which seems to be different to the average athlete (ie HR becomes more stable when being fit) Where do i go from here? When doing the training program, what is more important, the time, or the HR? I feel that training to hard, ie too much in the 80% plus range, leaves me too sore for too long. I have had at least 8weeks of training since November, so I should be reasonably fit enough to do this program?
