AndreZA Posted April 10, 2008 Share Long slow distance WRONG! Long STEADY distance. You can still do this fast but keep it steady. Do sprints or intervals or slacking off.

Myra Posted April 10, 2008 Share 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 But maybe this is an outdated theory.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 Share 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) Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/15368-average-speed/page/3/#findComment-286777 Share on other sites More sharing options...

keith Posted April 10, 2008 Share So buckstopper should I base a long ride on HR? Cause I get what you saying about wind. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/15368-average-speed/page/3/#findComment-286781 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Cookie Posted April 10, 2008 Share Long slow distance was my understanding of "LSD" as well, but was firmly corrected as well. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/15368-average-speed/page/3/#findComment-286789 Share on other sites More sharing options...
