how would you know if you set the bar too high for yourself doing intervals.. dont want to get too detailed, but i have no hr monitor or power tap, so what i do has always been going by rpm's and feel..
i do an 11 minute interval, spinning at a certain cadence(100-110, increasing the rpm each minute), at the eleven minute mark i rest and spin 1 minute,. then i get out of the saddle for 1:45very hard.... rest 1:15 and do another 11 minute interval.. repeat2 more times.. .. i do 4 eleven minute intervals and these hurt big time.. only 2 times have i not been able to finish the 4th interval.. i get to 4-5-6 minute mark and thats it.. all the other times i finish the workout..
how would i know if i should only go 90-100 rpm's instead of 100-110rpm's? i'd finish the workout all the time if i went a bit slower, or never increased the gear..
my heart rate is way up ther doing these 11 minute intervals..(170- 190) i dont know my max hr,, but many many times i counted 192 bpm doing 4 minute intervals..
so my question is how do you know if you're setting a workout goal too high?
i'm dead tired when i do the whole thing and dead when i almost get the whole workout in..thanks alot
