I have done about three now - in all (all of which were in horrendous windy and wet conditions) my goal at the beginning of the season was to break evens and get 28's by the end. I started at 31.58 and I am now at 30.31 (last week last 5 miles into a killer head wind on the return leg) so I know I can break evens given better conditions.
I think my pacing, could be a bit better I feel I have given it my all at the end but have I ?
I have invested in a HRM and took it out out on the club run. I know as a rule of thumb that it is 220-age for your max but this may or may not be accurate.
Question 1 - If I ride this weeks ten will that give me a better indication of my max HR
Question 2 - Would my Max HR on the club run give me a better indicator of my max HR. It was quite pacy?
Question 3 - for Future TT's is monitoring my avg. heart rate a better pacing strategy than get round the turn in a time or look at avg. speed?
Question 4 - what % of max HR would you run a 10 mile ten mile TT 85-90%?
The course has a couple of inclines but is by no means hilly
Any help would be much appreciated
