CV training for long distance ride?
Is someone doing similar training? Any suggestions?
I am busy fine tuning my CV fitness and knowledge of the effects of a change in cadence.
This test uses warm up and next going at pace with recording the highest HR. The Trainer is a CycleOps FL2, Cateye Astrale 8, Polar HRM, Madone Road Bike, 700 x 23 tires. Big fan. I do the test at the same time after breakfast.
Here are results so far:
Resting HR <60
15.0 MPH @83 RPM (39/17) =<098 HR
15.5 MPH @86 RPM (39/17) =<102 HR
16.0 MPH @89 RPM (39/17) =<115 HR
16.5 MPH @91 RPM (39/17) =<115 HR * (This is my normal training pace = 100 miles in 6 hrs)
17.0 MPH @94 RPM (39/17) =<121 HR
17.5 MPH @97 RPM (39/17) =<124 HR * (Note: It was F15 cooler)
18.0 MPH @94 RPM (39/16) =<135 HR * (Changed gear to 39/17)
18.0 MPH @93 RPM (52/21) =<130 HR * (52/21 gears. 30 minute warm-up at 16 MPH) Feels better.
