    First of all, you need to
    First of all, you need to find your Lactate Threshold Heart Rate. Which can be done by warming up for 10 minutes and then riding as hard as you can sustain for 20 minutes and calculating your mean heartrate from the 20 minute effort.

    Without that your zones will be wildly innacurate. The old tables of heartrates are useless as there is a massive difference from person to person. For instance I have a resting heart rate of 35, my LTHR is 155 and max is 182. Another member of my team has a resting heart rate in the 60s and an LTHR of 190.

    Everybody is different. Do the test, workout your zones using the million calculators on the internet then search for workouts. There are loads of free ones but if you want to take it up a level look at trainer road and The Sufferfest.

    Using those two have improved my fitness hugely in the last 12 months.
