A simple example of and Interval Training Session is displayed below. The Heart Rate Zones are listed on the left, 1 to5. The actual Heat Rates to be achieved in these Zones are listed on the right.
The participant is then asked to perform a brief warm up and enter Zone 1 for 2 minutes, after this the participant is required to enter Zone 2 for 1 minute and then reduce the heart rate to the level of Zone 1 through a series of repeats to then end the session with 5 minute cool down.
The principle is very similar to riding your bike up a hill, albeit a very short hill in the above example, and riding down the other side and riding up it again...
With the benefit of a structured plan, that is tailored to you and your needs, you are able to work within the Zones, and gain the rewards.
Even a steady cycle ride is not just steady, it will involve inclines and declines as well as changes in pace.
By following a structured plan you are able to create a training impact on the systems that are utilised to provide the body with energy when cycling.
