I Tried Zone 2 Training For 3 Months, Here's What Happened | Rider Support

Cycling with ear pieces or headphones while cycling is illegal in Spain as it is with driving and cycling in France.

Great info, good to be focused on generalized health as well as performance

Anthony and Sarah, here’s a comment that shouldn’t bother you too much, I love your podcast and also your accents! Anthony the first time I saw one of your videos it was an interview with Geneviève Jeanson and it was wonderful. I’m also French Canadian and did follow the drama back in the day with her coach and teammates and the doping scandal and the interview was so eye opening. I have a whole new respect for Geneviève now and was so glad to hear that she and Lyne Bessette are best of friends now. Anyway thanks again for your podcast and take care.

I love you both. Keep up the good work! And Anthony, you are a lucky man to have such a sweetheart of a woman in your corner!!

Thanks for the zone training info. At 58, this isn't something I'd considered... I'm like you with regards to Strava, too much drama. I cycle to leave my worries behind. I'm quite satisfied merely tracking my own data and achieving PR's (if I'm felling it).

Where on Earth did car up/car down come from. It's always been "nose" for oncoming traffic and "tail" for traffic coming up from behind. Is it newbies who have conjured up car up/car down?

You should see the KOMs here in india... most are on motorbikes and cars... god damn some are even on planes.

That comment was mean or insensitive. Thank you for this episode. I have been struggling with not letting my ego push me out of Zone2 rides, and it happens too often that I decide to chase someone or go up a climb at a higher pace that suitable for zone 2

Segment hunting ruins your cycling, you'll drift into doing local rides only & short to medium rides only. Segment hunters will stop doing longer rides (or never start em)

I did many Ironmans, and an Ultraman at decent speeds at average HR probably around 130. Also ran 100 miles with a HR cap of 128 bpm. It really works. Lots of people been doing it for decades. Low HR allows you to get in more volume without injury = more training frequency.

As a hypertrophy/bodybuilding training pt watching this. When it comes to "protein in-take bring hard" get yourselves some collageen (not peptide) or isolate protein. That has around 90% egg white protein. And is less thick as lesser whey products. If you add a scoop at around 60gr to a mixture of grounded oats and grounded rice powder. You easily get in fibres, 110gr protein and complex carbs. Drinks away pretty easily.

Strava KOMs aren't to be taken seriously. Too many factors. Did the KOM sit in a group for most of the segment and then sprint out for the last 100m and take the KOM? Did the KOM wait for a day when there was a 20mph tail wind? Was the KOM on an e-bike? Use Strava the way I use it if you want to be happy. I use it only to mark my best times. I only compete against myself. And if I do take a KOM, it's always, always, always by myself. But there's always going to be someone faster than you, so why worry about it? Just compete against yourself, and enjoy riding your bike. As to the zone 1 training (using a polarized three zone model), I do all of that training by myself. You're not going to find many riders who can put their egos away and train properly, so it's not worth your time looking. Plus, even if I do find someone who wants to train that way, what are the odds that their zone 1 and mine are nearly identical? Your training is a personal thing, and it benefits your health, so don't worry about what others think and just do it.

I used to walk six hours a week and while it was good for reducing my anxiety it was also pretty boring to see the same streets day after day. I'm starting to walk again for the sorts of reasons mentioned in this episode, but I will likely start riding on the bike for a bit to get to new places in order to introduce some variety to my walks.

Here in BATHURST NSW Australia we call "Car up" if there are oncoming and "Car Back" if there is a car following... Reverse to how you go Up your bum and Down your throat .. Also with holes . In a group, the rider on left calls Hole Left, as in to the left of them . The rider on right calls hole right , right of them . Hole between the two riders is Hole Middle .. seems to work,

Another great video ❤❤

I can't imagine what can be posted negative about Sarah. I don't miss social media.

Do you know what sort of drink all pros drink at the end of a race?the magic red bottle ?

I was stunned to find I was KOM of a particular leg. Then I realized I just had forgotten to turn off my heart rate monitor and had driven home with it on. I Don't know enough about strava to figure out how to delete that section. I hope strava's algorithm figures out that I can't do 35 miles an hour.

Need timestamps so i can skip to the topics.
