[QUOTE="JTT, post: 271228, member: 19620"] The idea is to train in specific zones, that being either aerobic or anaerobic. Aerobic training is good to build a "base" and for endurance. Anareobic is the higher HR zones. Training in the aerobic zone is great for building endurance. When I wa cycling a lot, we used to do LSD rides (ok, you can stop laughing now...) which stand for Long, Slow, Distance. These rides commonly lasted 4-6 hrs and were all aerobic. In fact, if you couldn't easily carry on a conversation with other riders, you were working too hard. Later in the training season, we went on to interval training (anaerobic). I found that tose months of LSD rides were the most benifitial training tool I had ever used. Developed great endurance. The intervals come later once you have a solid fitness base, but are also important, particularly in the MX world, where races are generally short, but intensity is very high. Basically, what the HR monitor does is allow you to learn to listen to your own body. It feeds you hard facts about what is really going on. After some time using it, you will find that you can "feel" almost precisely where your HR is without the monitor, and as Jeepboy pointed out, this allows you to pace yourself accurately. Hope this helps some :think [/QUOTE]
