Hello all. I train on a stationary bike as well as a road bike, but have been doing more stationary lately. I’ve read a lot of conflicting opinions on heart rate training zones and wanted to get some input. I’m still somewhat new to bike exercising.

How often do you interval train, and how long is your workout?

Right now I do a zone 4 session about once a week, and do 5 minute intervals with 5 minute “rest” periods, so my total ends up being around 15 minutes in zone 4 and 15 minutes in zone 2.

Just wondering how other people are doing their workouts.

Any feedback, opinions, or input appreciated!

    Thanks for the insight! That’s some good information for me to consider. My current goal is weight loss and cardio improvement, I would like to do a triathlon sometime next year as well

      For triathlon, those longer threshold (rather than Supra threshold) intervals will be more event-specific
