Field Test Results

Hadn't done the 2x8 minute field test since last fall so today was the day. Used SR 52 starting at River Downs heading out and then starting at Ten Mile heading back with 8 minutes recovery between. Held 396 and 394 respectively. HR averages were in the mid to upper 160's with max HR at 173 and 175. Hr was back to 120 within 2:30 during the recovery between the efforts. Cadence averaged 90 in each. These results are pretty close to the test from last fall. Just shows that a winter of structured intervals and plenty of recovery will bring results. Ready for the first time trial next Wednesday in Dayton. zones based on these results: recovery, less than 177.75 endurance between 177.75 296.25 tempo between 316 331.8 steady state between 335.75 355.5 time trial between 375.25 395 power intervals above 434.5
