heres an ok link. they only thing i dont aggree with its the weight lifting for strenth instead of endurance. if you eat ****, and you look like my govenator, you going to pull or tear something. i also do long distance rides, not motorcross, so that may be a factor too. i dont know if its on that site, but i have seen pros talk about heart zones a lot. they say get on a bike/tredmill/something cardo and get you rate up to something comfortable, then go a bit fast for ~20 more beats per min. for about 2 mins, then sprint and max out min, then drop back down to 20 higher, then your comfortable rate. i guess its to simulate high panic or hard faught battles on the track. i know im comfortable at 150, then sprint a bit to get it to ~165, then max out at ~185.

if you find a better site, let me know, im trying to train for a few races the end of this year and want to be able to kick some ktm @$$.
