Based on a Friel style test that I did back in Jan, my average HR for the last 20 minutes was 155. This test was done indoors on the trainer for what it's worth. Using Coggin's HR Zone schema I have been working with the following HR zones: Z1 < 107, Z2 - 107 - 129, Z3- 130-146, Z4- 147-163, Z5- >164 ...
This past Sunday I did a ride in the 'rollers' , the ride lasted 3:17:28 including two stops of about 5-10 min. My average HR for the ride was 157 and my max was 184 with the following breakdown:
Z1 - 0
Z2 - 6:31
Z3 - 35:05
Z4 - 1:25:56
Z5 - 1:12:36
I came up with a TrIMP of 825 and a 'Friel Conversion' TSS of 282.48 ... That seems a lot more than what the ride felt like, so I'm thinking I need to adjust my zones. But is there any point to doing the test indoors again? There was about 3500' of climbing on this route and that's about as flat as it gets around here... Suggestions?
Thanks,
Dave
