Evondo's Group - CLOSED! (Page 26)

This could very well be the same thing, and maybe I just don't like the word "resolution", but instead I like to set a few goals for myself each year, including learning/trying something new. 

My "something new" for 2010 was set to be bikram yoga, but I sort of got a head start on that one. 

I want to have better work/life/training balance.  I'm very guilty of fully throwing myself into something and disregarding other areas of life.  So, it's time for that to come to an end.

I still have to give some more though to other 2010 goals.

• The 30 minute TT begins.
• At 10 minutes into the test, hit the 'Lap' button on your heart rate monitor, to get the average heart rate over the final 20 minutes of the test.
• The average for the final 20 minutes is your Lactate Threshold or LT.
• You should finish knowing you gave it everything you had.

15 minutes easy cool down. 

You plug the number you get into the BT Heart Rate Zone to get your zones after.  This is way more accurate then using your age to determine your zones.  You'll want to have a base already so for those who took a longer break you probably shouldn't do this, but this test should be repeated periodically so there are more chances coming up for torturing yourself.  You want to pick a route you can do the test on each time.

I have done this test twice on the bike already and it's mentally hard to hold yourself at your breaking point for so long, although Jorge had us doing the average over 30 for the initial test.  20 might be easier mentally.

Note, if your running is usually outside then test outside.  If you usually run this time of year inside do the test outside. 

I am hoping to do mine tomorrow if the weahter conditions hold.
