    Re: [RC] Heartrate monitors for newbies? - RhndLev


    I think that the main problem with newbies having heartrate monitors is that 
    too many people use the thing as if it were a tachometer.  It's NOT.  
    
    I have a new prospect and I'm not riding him with a heartrate monitor yet.  I 
    know at this point that his legs are more in need of conditioning than his 
    cardiovascular system is.  I believe that if I ride him hard enough at this 
    point to really stress his cardiovascular system, I run the risk of damaging 
    his tendons and bones, particularly since we're mainly riding on the roads.  
    We're truly doing long, slow distance to develop his bones and legs.
