I recently bought a polar F6 heart rate monitor.
I then upload the days data to a web based system on Polar's site and it has an option to 'get a cycling training program".
So i fill out the questions and get the cycle training program.... It fills exercises in over a month timetable.
My concern is the 'hill training" exercises. It says to do hill climb intervals of 3 min sitting at 50-60 cadence, and 2 min standing at 50-60 cadence, followed by 10 min recovery then repeat.
Is 50-60 a good cadence to try to set for hill training? Or am I just setting myself up for knee pain?
If its recomended exercises are just going to destroy my knees id be better off scrapping any advice from them, and just using their web services to store my data for archival purposes.
Is there any decent fitness/training software available that uses polar soniclink to input its data ?
