Hi eL-Bee!
I was interested in your mention of cadence...what's the theory behind the different cadences and how do you get the right rhythm - can you set your HRM to beep at the correct rate, or something?

eL Bee!
Features - I'm a real beginner on the bike, but the way I understand it is, it's a bit like running.
So I'm using a higher cadence and not too much resistance as a form of Base Training!!!!
A bit like the short stride high cadence thing for running
As for measuring it - I've got a super-whizzy toy that has a wheel sensor, AND a crank sensor so that I know how far/fast (well slow actually) I'm going, and what my cadence is!
HRM is V'raps (mine would appear to be permanently misplaced!)

Ooops!
I'm sorry, didn't realise you were talking about cycling....thought you were running!!
(probably you mentioned that a few pages back which I haven't looked at-teach me!)
I had read some things in the past about the "ideal" cadence to run at, and thought you were referring to this!

20mile run this morning @70%HR in 3hrs 44mins 8secs, really enjoyed this session and it was very relaxed during the final 3rd of this run 4 miles are Xcountry and I had to work hard to keep HR at 70% due to the ground being very soggy and slippery, no aches or pains during or after, which is down to HR training in general, 210 miles I've done this month so far all under HR training and I feel like I could go and do another session now no problem, HR training "ROCKS"

Bob!
Another 6 miler this afternoon, faster again at 59.26 66% HR.
Planning a Longer run tomorrow at 10 miles. What should my strategy be?
1/ Start at sub 65% and try to keep under 70% as it gets tougher in the latter stages?
2/ Aim to stay under 70% from the start and not worry if it slips a bit later on?

I'd say 2 given Ian suggested 70% for 1st half 75% for 2nd half the other day when I mentioned Parker having long runs up to 75%

Bob!- option 2 is what I tend to do on my long runs. If it drifts in the latter stages there's nowt you can do about it. I just try to keep it below 75% then.

I dont think 10 miles is a long run for bob though!!!! so perhaps option 1 althoughit depends what you did yesterday and plan to do tommorrow, if hard yesterday then keep below 70%, if yesterday was easy then 70-75%
