How Much Zone 2 Is Too Much Or No Longer Productive? (#220)

The Time-Crunched Cyclist Podcast by CTS

OVERVIEW
Overview: Zone 2 training is all the rage, but there's a point at which more Zone 2 or exclusively training at low intensity is no longer productive. Time-Crunched Cyclists reach this point sooner than time-rich athletes because you don't have the training volume to continue creating a training stimulus. Coach Adam Pulford shares his solutions for developing aerobic fitness using a mixed-intensity training method for Time-Crunched Cyclists.
TOPICS COVERED

• When is it appropriate to do mostly Zone 2 training?
• Why NOT to do just Zone 2 training
• Progression at Zone 2
• Aerobic decoupling
• How to increase Zone 2 power output
• Indoor vs outdoor for Zone 2 rides
