My Polar is strapped to the handle bar and I keep a constant eye on it. The problem is not that I dont know what my HR is doing, more that I struggle to stop myself trying to be KOM or chasing down a truck.

 

Oh, it's your 'Inner Pro' reflex.

What is this obsession with "going slow"?

 

You do get fitter and stronger faster when you ride hard, thats just how it works.

 

I get the point of over-training if you go too hard for too long, but to be very honest I don't think many working people have enough time to train to really suffer the effects of over-training. Surely if you go so slow that you are bored by it you are wasting valuable training time.

 

I don't allways train at 100%, but hell if i feel that I can or want to go faster, thats just what makes sense to do. What I do know is that I am generally a lot faster than others who spend more time on the road, but looking at their HRM's rather than putting the hammer down
