don't know if this is of any use but I followed it last year before doing a 200 mile 3 day ride and it worked for me - it just made me focus on getting fit and riding the bike

Power and Heart rate doesn't correlate.

That's if the roadload simulation on the turbo is realistic.

imo they rarely are though.. but enough to give a good guide.. (((not that I am trying to flog my Tacx Flow for that reason you understand ! but I am)))

mind you, didnt I read on one of threads that if yu be a stooodent you get a free Wattbike...? for £1600 they are pretty accurate
