On this thread, I'm curious.

When I started really focusing my cadence training, I was spinning around 90rpms on the road. When I'd work inside on the rollers I'd spin 80-85rpms, and when I'd go above 85 it seemed my %MHR would climb at a 1:1 ratio into the 90's. So, spinning 90rpm on the rollers would be 90% MHR on rollers with resistance.

Over the winter training, I've been able to increase my typical outdoor cadence to the 100rpm line comfortably and typically spin at that rate. Likewise, my rollers cadence is in the 90-95 region.

Curiousity - for those that _can_ spin 150+, where does your heart rate go when you get to that level. Years of training been able to keep the HR down at that level or how do you train those cadences? I'm gonna do some cadence counting tonight at the weekly spin class where I know I spin faster than I ride and see what kinda cadences I spin at there and compare them.
