I am having a problem relating to resting pulse rate(RPM). My monitor a garmin forerunner an expensive model only gives me an average. When I wake up it seems to be low 70's. However, I am 65 years old and spin twice/three times weekly. My max is 173 bpm and I usually average out at 140bpm over 2 hour sessions. My recovery is I think very good as within 10 minutes I am down to 110bpm and thats driving home! Obviously for my age the 173 is high but I appear to beable to train at 165 without stress for 20 minutes at a time. Please advise on where my safety and stress areas need to be for a man a little over weight for 1.7m and 88kg. However I have always kept fit and healthy and there is no heart problems in my family history. In fact my father died last year at 90 year and my mother is 90 years old but we both have high cholestrol. Hi Jesper – regarding heart rate monitor and use.

Congratulation! :-) @VO2overFTP – 35W every second minute would be almost perfect warmup for VO2 max intervals since this protocol is made to reach VO2max during test procedures.

I normally just spin for 15 minutes before doing my session. No real plan for the warm just turning my legs over. Your plan gave me astructure to it. I like another comenter was concerned that I would be coming into the interval session already having used too much energy but infact didnt feal like that at all. i also found the first couple of intervals easier than usual - I guess being more warmed up helped.

It certainly forced me to slow down and do a more complete warmup. Even though I try to spend some time warming up I wonder if after 45 seconds I just start going without finishing the warm up. I don't operate using watts so I'm going to have to play around with my effort levels to get them to what I need. The first, and only time so far, I think I was putting to much effort into the warm up. As for my workout, it felt similar as usual but I'm hoping that I'll see the benefits once I tailor it a bit more. Hi,
