Tesco's £20 HRM isn't bad
The Aldi/Lidl ones are even cheaper but you obviously have to wait until that particular promo
DrP, where's the fat ?
Sfb, how much fat burning/weight loss have you achieved sat upon your high horse??
none whatever, I'm far too vain to allow myself ever to get fat in the first place :o)
But high horse? All I said was, attempting to game these metabolic systems is pointless - there may be some very slight edge to be obtained at the limit of human performance, but for most of us it'll just be wasted effort, and very silly.
fat is oxidized in the krebs cycle, but any attempt to make energy production during exercise fit anaerobic or aerobic systems is too simplistic. kind of Medical school circa 1980's DrP

that can't be all the story as I thought it resulted in lactic acid ? And it's worth pointing out there's a subsequent pathway to metabolise the lactic to CO2 once more oxygen is available.
You're right - the equation can be correct, but for the formation of lactic acid (C3H6O3) in humans the equation is:
C6H12O6 → 2C3H6O3 + 2 ATP
Glucose → Lactic Acid + (Energy)
I stand corrected for pasting images too quickly!

I think it's also worth noting that the body still consumes energy after a period of exercise, so break your training into two sessions a day to maximise this effect.
Similarily, have several smaller meals through the day as opposed to just the two big ones to ensure you're well fueled for these two sessions.
You may find Thomas Chapple's "Base Building for Cyclists" some help, it's an expansion on Joe Friel's earlier published works.
