larkim May 2020 9:16am, 19 May 2020 11,085 posts	Quote Pin larkim Eked out all of the free mileage I could, and running legs are feeling better, but I must admit I've enjoyed the week of zwifting so far. Being new to this cycling "training" lark, any guidance on what sorts of parameters would be helpful to put around cycling effort? Whilst I might not always stick to it, the concept of HR zones works well for me for running, and of course I've got decent benchmarks to match if plans suggest intervals at 5k pace, marathon pace, 10k pace etc. So if I went out for an easy run I'd know what level of HR to pitch things at. Are there similar factors against concepts like FTP for cycling? e.g. if I did want to do the equivalent of a 40min easy run, what sort of %age of FTP and what duration should I be looking at? I've been guilty in the past in running of doing too much at too high an intensity, even if it has only felt moderately hard (i.e. classic grey zone stuff), but I can see I'm drifting into the same mentality on zwift so any suggestions of factors would be helpful as I would like to be a (slightly) better cyclist than I am at the moment. (Though I did enjoy Jon's Mix last night, even if the final 10min at 195W was right at the limit of my capabilities!)
