Maryks Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 I have a question that you might be able to shed light on. I am 42, 72kg, 1.68m. according my HRM my max is 188bpm. resting hr is 51bpmduring rides i am able to ride at 90% with ease. my OFM time was 3h10 at a ave of 90% according to what i have read i should not ride in this zone to often. but to maitain a speed of 23km/h offroad or 30km/h road i must ride at his rate. My question (i hope i gave enough detail) why is my hr rate so high compared to others around me and the general information out there. If ride at 70% hr I must ride 15km/h or lessthis surely is too slow Hi, Sorry for only coming back to you now. Was on holiday for a bit! It's really not uncommon to ride at 90% of your max in a race. It means your body is wellconditioned because it can function anaerobically (without oxygen) for a long time. My friendsand I all ride a race at 85-94/5% of our MHR. But it is important that you condition your body correctly with the right amounts of low, mediumand high intensity training in order for it to maintain such a high MHR without hurting your heart, lungs and muscles. If you always train at 70%, then it's not a good idea to push yourself to a 90%average on a race. Hope this makes sense! Contact me if you have any other questions! Maryke
mojopup Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Free bump! I am starting week 2 of my program and I am loving it!! One of my favourite things is that I can do the interval sessions on my idt and I dont get bored. I cant wait to get out on the dirt on Saturday and see the impact of just 2 weeks of training has had. Bring on Sani2C cause I think I may just be fit enough for it thanks to the coach.

Wait until you get to the end of 6 weeks, you're going to be blown away by the results! I'm currently on week 10 of my program and the results have been absolutely amazing! Almost every week it feels as if I'm peaking but it's a 'mini-peak' because the next week I feel stronger, really looking forward to peaking in a big race Thanx Maryke, keep up the good work

Thanks Saudiq. Yesterday I couldnt do my scheduled workout so I did it this morning and I was blown away by the massive improvement to a similar workout from last week. 12mins off last week's time!! For those of you who want a coach who is not going to kill you, make workouts fun and who will help you achieve your goals: this is the coach to go with.
