Going over will push you into oxygen debt, burn through your fast-twitch muscle and glycogen stores very quickly, and create a lot of extra fatigue. <br /><br />Having said that, your pancreas makes insulin on a 3-6 min cycle, depending on fitness level and other factors, so you will not be able to maintain the exact same level if pushing hard. (86% isn't TOO hard, but still good to keep in mind)<br /><br />There is also the phenomenon of "heart-rate creep" where your HR will increase over time as you fatigue even while power will start to decline. <br /><br />However, this test is entirely internally focused, IE: focused on your 'engine', not its effect on power, speed or distance.<br /><br />I will not attempt this at the goal cadence, as an injury has slowed my cadence, but suspect the cadence creates muscle fatigue late, and disrupts breathing, at least until you adapt your breathing. <br /><br />This dummy is going to try for the full hour, as I have already bested the HR goal several times for 30-45 minutes, and Friel says that should translate into about the same 1hr HR.Grey Beardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02238917041257429804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856118913828941953.post-50067614944454884532010-09-03T16:16:12.043-04:002010-09-03T16:16:12.043-04:00ok i really am working on being a better rider, bu...ok i really am working on being a better rider, but um not there so I'm pretty sure this would in fact kill meRunToTheFinishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13995696358152941044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856118913828941953.post-83537145251432465452010-09-03T13:19:11.093-04:002010-09-03T13:19:11.093-04:00Do you get any fluctuation on that HR? or, if it ...Do you get any fluctuation on that HR? or, if it jumps to 156 it's game over?Lauren Starkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00459810974120871466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856118913828941953.post-7095100806116341912010-09-02T13:54:10.303-04:002010-09-02T13:54:10.303-04:00I've kept the same heart rate all day at my de...I've kept the same heart rate all day at my desk so far.

That'...155 is (155/(220-age)) is 86% of max HR. That's doable. Suggest a different approach. Instead of going at 86% for 38 minutes, try going at LT for 1 hour. A good guess for your LT is 150-152. <br /><br />Ditch the 100 cadence for now. Nobody rides a 1hr/40km TT at 100 rpms anyway. Not Lance Armstrong, not Contador, or Dave Z. That's why they have 54T chainrings. You can come back later and add that to the goal.<br /><br />Once you establish your LT/1hr/40km TT HR you can creep up on your HR goal, instead of your time goal. Pretty standard Power-Duration Curve stuff.<br /><br />Of course you'll probably do it tonight just to prove me wrong, and that would be cool too.Grey Beardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02238917041257429804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856118913828941953.post-20379233643628580072010-09-01T21:33:59.721-04:002010-09-01T21:33:59.721-04:00Follow the links, and I won't be surprised at ...Follow the links, and I won't be surprised at all if you exceed the standards! :D<br /><br />http://pedalingzen.blogspot.com/2010/03/fun-in-sun.htmlGrey Beardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02238917041257429804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856118913828941953.post-4268494093668921342010-09-01T21:17:00.478-04:002010-09-01T21:17:00.478-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Grey Beardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02238917041257429804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856118913828941953.post-86089735139484448132010-09-01T18:14:16.619-04:002010-09-01T18:14:16.619-04:00don't even want to tell you where my heart rat...don't even want to tell you where my heart rate was last Saturday when we hammered 27-28 mph for 30 miles....just saying...Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12782182419685153100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856118913828941953.post-190385837220557262010-09-01T15:06:13.388-04:002010-09-01T15:06:13.388-04:00Great challenge.

I can only dream at keeping that pace for 38 minutes, you know what I take that challenge, my goal is to make 60 minutes before the start of next season.Big Daddy Dieselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868041775049514011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856118913828941953.post-16979429526653404542010-09-01T13:24:18.109-04:002010-09-01T13:24:18.109-04:00Maintaining a steady heartrate does sound tough!
