Interval training on your smart trainer wont only save you time, but it’ll also help you reach your full potential – especially if you plan and understand your training.
As the science of training continues to evolve, the resources of information seem endless. Even if you don’t know where to start, understanding a few key terms will help you conquer your training.
- Your maximum heart rate is roughly your age subtracted from 220.
- Training zones are intensity regions based on percentages of your heart rate and power.
- VO2max is your body’s maximum rate at which your heart, lungs and muscles use oxygen during exercise; a measurement of aerobic capacity.
- Intervals are short to medium bursts of effort used to control and strengthen your training.
What's most important to remember is that you cannot do interval training only. Rest is as important as intervals. You shouldn’t be doing more than 3 interval sessions per week. Use training tools like Zwift to try different interval workouts calculated and set up for you.
