Heart-Rate-Based Training (Introduction)


Heart-rate monitors allow you to observe your heart rate while working out. This helps training, providing immediate feedback about aerobic exercise intensity.

 

Why Use a Heart-Rate Monitor?

As with all measures of intensity,

●   Use a heart-rate monitor to help design your training and racing programs.

●   Use a heart-rate monitor to help ensure that you work according to plan. A monitor helps make sure that you work hard enough when you want to work hard. It also helps make sure that you don’t work too hard on easy days.

●   Use a monitor to help analyze how you feel and what happens to your body in training and in racing. Monitors don’t necessarily change your training, but may help allow you to understand what is going on.

●   Use a monitor to help motivation. The feedback provided is engaging for many riders.
