HRM training for beginners

[Veronica]

. Do you differentiate, then, between a fast flat ride and a hilly ride? Or is it all in what gear you ride in?

Yes, but I'm not training to race, just to finish some hard rides.

I find I can do a flat, fast ride and then the next day do hills or big ring work.

I can do hill repeats outside and the next day do a fast, flat ride.

BUT

The day after big ring work has to be an easy spin or a day off. It fatigues my muscles too much.
