Road Bike (zones test) 1:20:00 [3]
Power/zones testing'
These tests are hard! I didn't anticipate that based on the "Newleaf" test that was done for me previously, which just went to the point where my fat burning ratio dropped way off. Today was multiple time trials
3x10 seconds as hard as possible
1x1 minute all out
1x5 minutes time trial
1x20 minutes time trial
Found out that my pedaling is rather smooth at the lower power range, but once I got into the time trials, it got erratic and would jump around. I asked Bonnie if this was because I wasn't steady and she said that was correct. Guess I've got to work on pedaling smooth circles. Zones came out at a lot higher HR than I would have expected. They don't seem to match with my perceived effort. Apparently, I have to go a harder on the bike than I have been to get the desired training zones.
