First interesting thing to come out of it is that I can produce the same power with a heart rate 10 bpm lower if I spin a lower gear faster (than a bigger gear span more slowly).
This is something I kind of always knew, but seeing it for yourself does a good job of convincing you that it is actually true!
i did 90mins on a treadmill to convince myself, that my heartrate would not increase due purely to distance ran. (You need to keep your blood volume constant). Experiment like this, really improved my half-marathon times.
I'm hoping that a little data will have the same effect on my cycling. I'm currently basically fit, and strong. But a shite cyclist.
