HR monitor pacing for 12 HR solo?

[jkarrasch]

Hello all,

I am using the 24 solo PR plan which recommends using a HR monitor during the 24 to stay in zones 1-3 for the first 6 hours of the race which is the same pacing as many of the long rides in the program.

I have a 12 solo at the end of wk 8 of the program. Should I use the HRM to practice my pacing for the 24 and try to stay in L3 and below or just pace off PE? Thanks!

Using a 12 hour solo as a dress rehearsal for your 24 PR is a good plan. Stick to the 24 hour HR's and use your 24 hour fueling plan.
