How long each week can I train in HR zone 4
Just found HR data from last year's tour graphed with alt. and time.

over-estimation of LT time was merely the delay of the heart and the
heart rate monitoring to catch up.
The paper gave two reasons:
1. HR drift
2. HR lag
One of the interesting things in that paper is the table that shows
average power output for each of the stages of what appears to be this
race:
http://www.cyclingnews.com/results/2.../regio00.shtml
Stage 1: 167km, 650m altitude gain, 2.7 W/kg
Stage 2: 164km, 1500m altitude gain, 2.9 W/kg
Stage 3: 84km 700m altitude gain, 3.8 W/kg
Stage 4 uphill TT: 13km, 450m altitude gain, 5.5 W/kg
Stage 5: 170km, 400m altitude gain, 3.2 W/kg
Stage 6: 160km, 200m altitude gain, 3.4 W/kg
Note the overall GC winner of that race.
