  1. If I'm riding 100-120 miles per week, at 150 average pulse, when do you finally ask yourself, "You know, It just can't be good to be that high all the time".

    6-10 hours a week at 85-90% of your max heart rate?

    How much is to much????

    Now that I'm riding more, I'm worried that maybe I'm pushing the old heart to hard.

    Is there a formula for this? I just don't feel like I'm getting anything out of my ride if I'm slogging along at 125-130 pulse, like maybe it's not even worth the effort. But am equally worried that running at 85-90% mhr for 1.5 to 2 hours a day might be bad too.

    Thoughts?
