That is quite normal, you'd find it in any group of riders

I had a training book, where I was supposed to do a road session at a target HR, which I could never do on the road, I can do it on the turbo, its easier to control.

There is an old adage that says ride slower to go faster, I think?

Means to do lots of long miles, but at a low HR. My mate went on a spring training camp in the Canaries, and the whole first week is long slow rides and you get bollocked for tearing off too fast
