> So what is this approach? Well, Pedersen is using a demanding heat training method that involves riding indoors for around an hour each day while wearing full winter gear. The sessions begin at a steady 270 watts, with Pedersen allowing his heart rate to climb steadily — often finishing with 15 minutes at 255–270 watts and a heart rate nearing 180 bpm. “It’s terrible — but terribly effective,” explains the Lidl-Trek star in the latest episode of the Lang Distance podcast. “It’s awful training. I’d rather ride seven hours a day for a full week.”
