  • Slowing a bit

    After the first two days of setting new MaxHR, wondering how much longer I can keep it up.  I can generate power now, but sustaining is a bit more difficult.  Without going out to ride outside, it is quite difficult to do base training, be it at higher or lower HR.  Classes are pretty limited to one hours.  The only way is doing multiple classes in a day during the weekends.  With a busy schedule, that may not be possible also.

    Easily going above 160bpm and sustaining high HR, but not exceeding 180bpm already.

    Trying to generate sustained power by remaining seated throughout the ride.  One of the keys of base training.  There are seven of them.  I can't remember all of them at the moment; when the time comes, I will.  There are also personally developed methods of achieving them.  HR is much lower but I am cranking more power.  Too fast, too soon?
