Hi
I recently had a couple of cases of atrial fibrillation during bike races on Zwift. This means I’m in the process of changing my training efforts to match, what the body is capable of. I’m a 59 year old previous elite runner and amateur biker, so my heart specialists still recommend me to train slowly to see what I’m capable of, while we explore different kinds of treatment options.
I love to train and especially the adaptable principles of Xert training. So I see this as some kind of recovery, where I have to adapt as things progress.
Can anyone recommend the best approach and settings in Xert to go slowly from recovery to GC specialist? - I have all the time needed.
I noticed you can set workout load to e.g. 90% or lower, but how does it influence the training analysis? I also try to avoid peaks in workouts by going from Auto to Off mode during these - then I can go as far as I like and no further. Any other recommendations?
Best regards
Lars
Did your heart doctors recommend a particular HR range to avoid compared to your max HR?
That could be the key gauge to watch and dial things down accordingly.
By adjusting the workout load % you reduce intensity and XSS value for the workout but the analysis works fine regardless. It just means your training load (TL) will be lower and so a slower progression over time. That is fine in your case plus a low intensity endurance base is always a good thing. 
You could also use Filter to right of Recommended Workouts and select workouts that don’t push you past your prescribed limit.
Thanks - great recommendations. I have no guidence from the doctor, but try to avoid pulse zone 5 plus no sudden big jumps up in load. I do go into zone 4, but with care :).
