I've been riding almost a year and progressing well, but I'd like to get onto a specific training plan. I'm about to buy a more legitimate bike computer with a heart rate monitor (likely a Garmin Edge 500 but I'm open to suggestions if you have any). I'm not aware of training for cycling except that I googled "zone training cycling" and see that it has something to do with using a measurement of your heart rate after a specific length of time and applying a formula. Anyway, I wanted to make sure the information i read wasn't subjective so...do you have a suggestion for a source that gives how to acquire these figures and how to apply them to a training regimen? If you could supply links or at least point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

I did attempt to find this information on the forum but even the sticky's reference "zones" in the first few paragraphs without definition. Sorry if the information is available here and I overlooked it.
