One of the most important parts of any structured training plan is to train at the correct intensity. Using a heart rate monitor or cycling power meter are both excellent methods to monitor intensity during workouts and races.
When using intensity monitoring devices it is crucial to establish training zones based around your lactate threshold (LT), Sports Science research has shown that using lactate threshold to establish training zones is the most precise way to set up training zones.
Your lactate threshold test will take approximately 1 hour. You will spend about 15 minutes on your bike and 15 minutes on a treadmill; the remainder of your testing session will be spent reviewing your test results.
