How do you keep at or around this level after targetted training? As you get fitter Threshold position will move. There was an article in CW were a rider was testing himself (blood tests) to threshold and adjusting target accordingly (seems extreme) or is it not that critical?
EG; 2x20 mins threshold sessions
Workrate measured by watts = 170bpm, average for interval 167bpm
after 3 weeks
Workrate measured by watts = 166bpm, average for interval 164bpm
Initial threshold heart rate after lab test 170bpm
Could you just move the rate up by 1or2 bpm every 3 weeks.
