Ok, please remember that I am posting in the newbie section...My question is, how do you ride a recovery ride? Are you supposed to still spin at your 80+ cadence but in an easier gear? Or are you just supposed to pedal at around 65-70 rpm at an easy gear? The reason I ask this is that it seems no matter how slow or how easy I plan on riding it seems my HR gets up into the 85% of MHR area if I'm pedaling at 80+ rpm no matter what gear I'm in. I don't seem to know how to ride and keep my HR low. This probably sounds like a dumb question but I need some help...otherwise all my rides end up being hard rides (for me anyhow).
