Help, I have read and read threads on training with heart rates and aerobic zones and lactate threshold but I am not grasping the HOW to set MY own zones correctly I have bought "The Lance Armstrong performance program" and have been carrying out a similar program I replicate at 3 days a week which I take the data from my hrm and put it in a spreadsheet which covers:
Ride Time
Cadence average and max
state of mind
calories used
Heart rate av and max
speed av and max
Distance
I have been writing down results for 5 weeks now
I am 27, 65kgs, max hr according to my polar is 193 my goals are increased power and endurance as I want to enter my first race. I am training on hills.
My question is how do I decipher the info? the books all refer to "zones" 50-91% of max sustainable heart rate is that 166bpm? is that also my lactate threshold? will training at that give me more endurance?
Any help is much appreciated
