AndreZA Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Long slow distance WRONG! Long STEADY distance. You can still do this fast but keep it steady. Do sprints or intervals or slacking off.
scotty Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 1 Hill's understanding of LSD is Long Sprint Distance dont listen to anything he says.
Myra Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Long slow distance WRONG! Long STEADY distance. You can still do this fast but keep it steady. Do sprints or intervals or slacking off. Disagree. As far as I know you should start with base training, i.e. lots of long slow rides, and once you have the miles you start with building up your power - doing sprints or intervals. But maybe this is an outdated theory. Any trainers out there care to advise?
buckstopper Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Rather focus on intensity than speed. Doing a say, 2 hour ride at a peceived exertion of fairly easy to somewhat hard and you'd be in the range for an LSD ride. Basing your progress on your speed is dangerous, unless you're using it for a time trial test. As a training tool it's meaningless as there are too many variables (wind, route, position, gradient, etc)

keith Posted April 10, 2008 Author Posted April 10, 2008 So buckstopper should I base a long ride on HR? Cause I get what you saying about wind.
Zoo Cookie Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Long slow distance was my understanding of "LSD" as well, but was firmly corrected as well.
1hill@aTime Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 1 Hill's understanding of LSD is Long Sprint Distance dont listen to anything he says. ah i see it's pick on 1hill day today, feeling very fragile today need some more LSD = Long Sleep Distance

1hill@aTime Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 HR is a bad way of judging anything, pink boas may the answer
keith Posted April 11, 2008 Author Posted April 11, 2008 1hill you are a bit odd Why is it a bad way of judging anything?
