This is too good of an information 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Not only have you so easily conveyed much information and saved my fat ass seemingly a litany of time frustration and good old fashioned ADHD hubris but watching hearing and reading really ties the Steelers
Great informative lately podcast and great wonderful voice.
Very clear explained. Thanks!
You should be a audio book narrator.
Weekly I’m doing 4 x 1h Zone 2 rides
And 2-3 x Zone 5 intervals
I’ve read a ton of research on Zone 2 building VO2max through increasing mitochondrial density.
Any thoughts on using Zone 2 as the foundation of VO2max training?
Im not an expert but most of your rides should be Z2, Z2 rides are the foundation of everything, you cannot train high intensity all the time, it leads to fatigue, also you get other adaptions needed when you ride a lot of Z2, this is what builds your aerobic engine, the better base you have the more you can build later
Are the intervals in Z5 on a 7 zone scale? Or a 5 zone scale?
Hi, what is your name to find you on Train Peak?

As a pensioner myself I will at least get my operation done shortly. Can’t afford to go private which is what the Tory’s want us to do.
So although i’m not happy losing the fuel allowance i will still be better off overall.
i’m not a fan of the Tories or Labour but 5000.00 to go private is a hell of a lot of fuel allowances
The more of this podcast that I watch, the less convinced I am that you actually understand the topics that you’re discussing properly. Vo2max in terms of power at maximum o2 uptake can be increased via a number of physiological pathways elicited via training in a number of zones, not just zone5. And the type of zone5 interval training that you’re discussing should simply be targeting time spent above 90% or so of max HR (as a proxy for max oxygen uptake in absence of lab equipment), not targeting a given percentage of FTP at all. Both long duration (steady 3-5mins) and short duration “on-offs” can elicit this extended elevated heart rate. I’m really not sure of the value of this podcast when it badly addresses topics already covered more accurately elsewhere.
