Yeah especially now that I have a poor man's power meter (computer on the back wheel!) If all's going well I'm usually in 53/17 at about 35-36kph with AV HRT 168-173. However yesterday on the 2nd interval I was struggling to hold 31KPH despite the same AV hRT rate. It just goes to show you heart rate monitoring alone is a good guage but it doesn't
really tell you how hard you're working. Especially if you consider it stays quite high if you've had poor sleep, drank loads of coffee, cardiac drift etc
