How can that be? Heart Rate and perceived effort both fluctuate with a bunch of factors other than power output, and are comparitively poor measures to train by.

This is why people buy power meters.

If a heart rate monitor is all you got, its better than nothing, just don't get to obsessed with the numbers, and realize they are going to fluctuate.
