each session. This helps me to develop specific aspects of your fitness, as
well as making sure you dont overdo it. You can either estimate your
intensity, using the training zone descriptions, or use a heart-rate monitor
for a more precise measure. If you use a heart-rate monitor, use the
percentages provided, and subtract them from your observed maximum
heart rate to calculate your Zones. Tools like cycle power meters and GPS
watches will also help track your training progress, but theyre not
essential for these plans.

At this stage, your training should mainly be within Z1 to Z4.


Z1 Recovery
60 to 65% of max. Easy pace, feels nice and light
Z2 Steady
65 to 75% of max. Fairly easy pace. Easy enough so that you could breathe
