For the last two years I've just rode recreationally (2k and 2.5k). I plan to upgrade my bike this spring and to help justify this to myself (and my wife) I have decided to do some local club races which is why I'm interested in a more formal training program. I checked out the Training forum and saw info about CTS having a 7 week program which I figure will work out for me as I live in Upstate NY and we tend to not see good riding weather until mid April (or you have wait until then for all of the salt to wash off the roads). I've been on my trainer 4-5 days a week so I'm not totally out of shape but was just hoping to get others' impressions about my WAG FM HR as I'm hoping to start out in the appropriate HR range without having to borrow or buy another HR monitor.
