    Long distance training?
    No heart rat monitor?
    no bother just use this guide...
    To improve you also need to ride at different levels of intensity. I describe intensity in terms of perceived exertion:
    • Digestion pace: Active recovery outings at the pace at which you ride or walk after a large meal.
    • Conversation and scenery pace: Riding along enjoying the scenery and talking about it with friends. These rides build endurance.
    • Headwind pace: Riding a bit faster. If you can whistle you aren’t going hard enough; if you can’t talk at all you’re going too hard. These rides increase cruising speed.
    • Sub-barf pace: Riding just below the level where you lose it. These rides build power.

    Sub-barf pace, i love it...
