[1hill@aTime]

oh ok that HR should be alot of help then

 

how old are you? keep it at about 60 - 70% for at least 2hr plus rides, try this during winter, i stand to be corrected.....like usual

 

or train like myself, make every ride a race

[keith]

I'm 23. For a 2hr ride? I can do that! (I hope)

Been training with Craig and Marco then have you?

 

[1hill@aTime]

i call the voices in my head something else, but we can go with marco and craig if you want

 

no seriously, i don't know them, clubs rides always end up being a race, or if i'm on my own, well i'll try draft anything.

[bob_the_builder]

101% = Craig, and his team-mate Marco v Biljoen... The guys who (with one or two others) make the bedfordview crowd race every day...

[1hill@aTime]

ah ok then i have ridden with them, i met up with them going through my area and rode through to benoni and pomona with them, yip the pace was hi.

What area is that in?

[RenierSteffen]

Paulpietersburg - Northern Natal. In die stokke.......

[Iven]

Geez, that's really in die stokke! No wonder you ride MTB

[keith]

So I can judge a ride on a combination of HR and average speed?

[RockCoach]

Average speed is just one of the ways to measure the type of ride AFTER a ride.

 

The only things you should worry about during a ride is your HR and TITS.

(time in the saddle). If you want to, you can scroll through the menu and check out what your max was on the last hill or what your average speed is etc. But it's not what you base your training on.

 

If you were to ride a certain flat course right now keeping your HR at 65% you would do it in a certain time. Ride it 5 days per week (still at 65%) and that time will decrease. Thus your average speed will increase as your muscles get stronger and your aerobic capacity increases.

You should never worry about tits. Unless you are a guy and you are growing a set.

 

[keith]

Shot slick! So the moral of the story is ride, ride, ride... And Bob I am focused, never think about TITS

[1hill@aTime]

TITS = training in the souf?
