Setting heart rate cycling zones without a Garmin

The Neil Damerell Show

In this week's video, I take an in-depth analysis of the six different training zones a cyclist goes through based on their individual FTP (functional threshold power). I walk through a special 10-minute workout, guiding you on the feel and impact of each training zone, from active recovery (Zone 1) to maximum effort (Zone 6). This serves as a guide to improve cardiovascular fitness, manage fatigue, and enhance overall cycling performance. By focusing on personal breathing and heart rate as indicators of workout intensity and the importance of enjoying the ride rather than being fixated solely on data. 00:00 Introduction to Training Zones 00:44 Understanding the Importance of Breathing in Training 02:08 Starting the Workout: Zone 1 04:04 Transitioning to Zone 2 06:13 Entering Threshold Efforts: Zone 3 08:00 Pushing Harder: Zone 4 10:07 Reaching VO2 Max Efforts: Zone 5 10:48 The Final Push: Zone 6 12:42 Post-Workout Reflections and Tips 16:11 Closing Remarks and Invitation for Interaction Anyways...
