Tried a 20 min session at 85%.....Jeez!
I notice a few posts from people who have struggled to get their heartrate over 80%. I thought, no problem for me as I always struggle to keep it down.
Did 10 min warm up and then only managed 5 mins
![Embarassed :oops:](./images/smilies/icon_redface.gif)
where my heart rate was only at 85% for the last 3 mins. Did 10 mins at 70% and then another 5 mins at 86/87% before a final warm down.
There is a bit of work to do before I can do 1 x 20min never mind 3 x 20mins.
What I don't understand is, I can easily ride along on the clubrun at 82/83% yet on the turbo it was as if someone was using my thighs as a test environment for bunsen burners. Is it purely psychological? i.e. my garage door wasn't getting any closer the harder I tried.
Is it best to try build up to 1 x 20min or build on the 2 x 5 min (i.e. 2 x 10 min, 2 x 15 min, 2 x 20 min)?
