I'm only after getting into "serious" cycling training and doing decent outings. I've been training for the past two years for rowing with heart rate monitors using A1(60-70%), A2(70-80%) and A3 (80-90%) heart rate zones.
I'm interesting in knowing what sort of zones I should be training in and for what time periods.
Take for example, a 100km trip: Should I aim to stay in one zone and keep to that effort? Or should I alternate between zones (and hour in one, hour in another etc...) Or, should I alternate days (hard day/easy day)?
Or is this approach not really suited to cycing training? Should I just go for a cycle and work as hard as I can every time?
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks chaps!
