zones 1, 2 and 3 for the majority, and some 4. however, you are likely to ride in all zones at some point due to the way power fluctuates! ric

can anyone put that interms of heart rate? are we looking at the standard 70% of max hr? what type of cadences should be used when building base. a higher cadence will help build the aerobic system, but a lower cadence will assist in developing muscular strength. Should one start with a low cadence early in the phase and transition to a higher cadence by the end of the phase? there are so many things to think about and it drives me nuts...thanks for all the help |

the longer the training, the lower I think you should go... And especially in the beginning, I reckon one should do less intensive endurance trainings. |
