I was just looking at my avg Speed for the two rides that I did yesterday.
What happened to my speed? I could cruise comfortably at 20mph towards the end of summer. I figure wearing heavy riding boots and a windbreaker are going to slow me down but the main culprit could be my training plan. This plan has me doing base miles for - Hills up to 4%, HR mainly in zone 1 & 2, and "comfortably high cadence".
I am a bit skeptical about two things. Where my zone 2 is and the benefits of "high cadence". We will see, I am keeping track of all my vital stats including Avg speed. If I stick with the plan, my avg speed should go up right? Only time will tell.

eh, don't worry about speed.
And here's the benefit of high cadence -- you know on those hills when I start to get away from you? My cadence doesn't change from the flat to the hill. I just shift and get right into it.
For you, working with a higher cadence will ease that transition a bit, and also help in sprints in terms of turnover.
You mean when you passed me on the State TT like I was stopped?
True.. it is much easier to climb at a high cadence.
