As an aside, how does your threshold power relate to % heart rate?
Nope, currently using sufferfest means this winter. There's no way i could do sufferfest with a cold, its evil when i'm feeling 100%!
As for the hills thing - it was saying most people find it easier to raise hr and deliver higher power on hills than flats and so its easier just to do intervals on hills.
Personally i find my legs kill me if i do intervals on the flat but they kill me slightly less on climbs because i was more of a climber.
@TSY, will it involve meat?! will it see me podium? my diet hasn't really changed over the years, just much less fat in the last few months hence the weight loss and body fat drop. *eats lard pies*

Well I haven't used the power meter for a while, but when I was threshold power was about 330W and hr was about 185 when my max was maybe 194. So that's what, 95% max ish.
That's threshold power defined as average power sustainable for 10 miles.
much less fat in the last few months
I have no idea why you've been suffering more colds then!!
Seriously... eat some more fat.
Thanks for that....I don't use a power meter so its interesting to compare the thresholds.
low fat diets aren't good for the immune system, neither are low body fat levels.
how does your threshold power relate to % heart rate?
For comparison at my threshold HR is 171, 87% of max and my O2 uptake is 75% of max.
While for running it's HR 181, 91% of max. O2 uptake 82% of max.

the blip behind me just read that and ordered in more cream cakes
DGOAB - I am very disappoint. "Podium" is NOT a verb.
ok, slight deviation as i dont personally class Adele as a top athlete

[i]Molly you wimp. I'm doing the whole thing. I am one of the beautiful people, see. [/i]
I thought so.
I thought that was you standing 3rd in from the right on the January pic of the 2012 STW calendar.
😉
when I was threshold power was about 330W
was this from a lab test?
No, Powertap.
