TheEd,
Mon recovery: 18 miles road bike total. All easy pace with a few hills. HRAvg: 120bpm.
Tues: Sore throat this AM :-( Very light cycle to work and back.
Wed: Apart from ride to work, rest tomorrow until throat clears and perhaps for rest of week whilst we get used to the cold snap here and to give body complete rest from Sundays efforts.
Had a question for you in regards to running from reading Joe Friels, 'Cycling Training Bible' about his approach to cycling training. You've most probably read the books, its very good indeed:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cyclists-Trainin...1934030201
On Lactate Threshold Heart Rate (LTHR), he recommends establishing this and setting up training HR zones accordingly which are different for cycling and running.
Do you work with this concept at all?
I naturally assume some of the 19-day cycle for 10km is heavily focussed on developing this threshold, however, can I think more about exactly what this is for any of the 10km development work for sake of clarity?
Supposed what I am asking here is, which session (i.e. 5x2km or 6x1km, 5km paced or 3x5min) at some point in the workout give an indication of this LTHR and is it something I can or should think about more in future?
Thanks for reading this far,
Cheers,
D
