Slipstream Sean Posted September 25, 2009 Share Help.Me. Remember that sessions are different intensitys use different muscles in different ways...thats your key to designing a training program that works best for you. For example high intensity sessions recruit the use of fast twitch muscle fibres, while as you long endurance rides train your slow twitch fibres. So 1 could follow the other, but if you're doing sprint intervals the day after a long ride...your session will be faaar less effective because to train speed you need to be fresh to push it to your max. Thats why most cyclists do hard intervals on a sat(even if its strength/hill climbs) and endurance rides on sunday... Also note the muscle groups, climbing uses largely glutes and quads, while high cadence works more calves and hams. So this supports the sat/sun plan cuz you arent stressing the same muscle group 2 days in a row...muscles need 3 days at least to begin to build...its this phase that makes you faster and stronger, so dont wipe yourself off the map! I do a tue + thur med intensity and distance, and another interval/60min TT on the wednesday, and rest mon + fri...you need to find wat works best for you. Oh and southern suburbians...I do Rhodes memorial for convenience...its a short climb of 4-5mins, but it has a decent kick especially at the right hand bend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravity Posted September 25, 2009 Share Please add your weight when putting in your max/ave hri am 31yrs 113kg - max 184 - resting 60i find that my heart goes up very very easily - like it is impossible (almost) for me to do a easy ride 60%-75% as everything cycling wize for me starts at 80% my peak sustainable for a hill is 88% and if i push i can do 95% anything above and i cannot breathe properly. Something that i hope is an indication of fitness is that my HR drops quickly after efforts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaBee Posted September 25, 2009 Share Please add your weight when putting in your max/ave hr Why? To my knowledge' date=' weight has nothing to do with HR max. Something that i hope is an indication of fitness is that my HR drops quickly after efforts It does. For it to go up quickly is fine, coming down quickly indicates (never absolute, but you know what I mean) a good fitness level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
