I forgot which website I got this info from from but is an interview of Jurgen Zack.
T: How have you compromised your training?
JZ: Years ago, I used to ride 300 to 500 miles a week with Wolfgang [Dittrich]. A lot of it was slow, averaging 18 mph. Now, I do about 300 miles, and I ride faster – at least 20 mph on average.
T: How easy is that on your heart?
JZ: Yesterday, I biked 60 miles at 21 mph, and my hear rate averaged 118.
21 mph, 60 miles at a HR 118?!!? I could be pegged at an average of 170 and average a smidge over 17.5 mph.. Damn!
www.kreuzotter.de/ is down so cant get any tangible supposition of the wattage from the info though.
