As an adult with a physically active career, finding the time to recover is the hardest part. During my easy weeks or weeks off, I can double my volume and feel more recovered by the end of the week.

@adamweb 24 дня назад

I've heard multiple coaches say that other than nutrition the main thing amateurs get wrong is too high of intensity on endurance rides and too low of intensity for Zone 5+ efforts.

@MsTatakai 23 дня назад

makes sense tho... in my case I probably do low zone 5 for sure and also low zone 2 too... im always climbing or grinding with most effort but never MAX i would say =P climbing is my cheat to do some zone5 ... i think it works

@brandonhoffman4712 23 дня назад

Im new to riding as an adult. Ive only been on 2 wheels a little over a month. I broke my back so walking long distance is out. I used to track myself with apps for walking and wanted to do the same for riding, so I got a garmin computer and some sensors. Initially i was hitting a lot of zone 5. 70% zone 5, 28% zone 4, and 1% zone 3 (the computer ate the last 1%?). I would focus on keeping my heart over 160bpm. My rides grew longer, my but got sorer, I got a new seat. I got to 38 miles, when I looked in the after that ride, I had a popped blood vessel in my eye! I had seen some stuff on zone 2 riding, I decided to tone it down. I struggle with zone 2, my body seems to like zone 3, but seeing the whole fat burning stuff has me really trying to get down to zone 2. Ive only had 1 successful zone 2 ride and 1 semi successful one that I think I messed up by drinking a large tea before the ride. Ive noticed my current zone 2 is almost as fast as my early zone 5 riding. Ive lost 0 weight riding almost every other day. Im noticing my legs are growing and becoming more firm and defined. Im just happy to be able to exercise and get cardio in with my broken back. Ive shortened my rides to 25 miles, i still havent hit my 40 mile goal. I need to learn to control myself. Zone 2 is like riding and doing breathing excercises to keep the heart rate down. It doesnt help that I vastly prefer zone 2.9 to any of the other zones in zone 2! I gained 40lbs/88kg on bedrest with my back. So far ive lost 10lb/22kg (just diet before riding) and am now converting fat to muscle.

@loltroll2 24 дня назад

If you feel exhausted and want to skip training, then just go for a joyride and enjoy the nature with a recovery ride. No habbits broken, and you still did something. (Of course you should not ride when everything hurts like hell, only when it hurts a little bit :D )

@deDANIEL11609 20 дней назад

Sounds good

@michaeldewing1904 17 дней назад

I love that this is becoming so simple.. just get on the bike and ride as much as you can.. sometimes ride really hard if you feel like it, but mostly just ride and you will get better.!😃 I don’t do complicated

@changlee5179 24 дня назад

Great video. Even though I feel like I knew everything you've said. It is really well summarized and I like how calmly you talk. Probably will get back to this video in a few months.

@genegroover3721 24 дня назад

So much truth in what you say. I truly believe it. I'm convinced it's the Consistent miles I put in that allow me to out perform riders many years younger than me even though I ride an old Merida 300 (aluminum) and they All ride bikes much lighter (carbon fiber) with much better components. (I'm 60) Of course there are some whom I will never be able to match, but I can give them a run for their money! Time in the saddle!!! Miles, miles, miles. Great job and thanks for the video.

@boc-tonysyklist2145 21 день назад

1. Consistency is/can be boring 2. What if your body for no clear reason suddenly stops recovering as well as previously (maybe even following just the same program which worked quite well the year before), and even easy workouts feels like you have been training hard? Then it´s not so easy to just "follow the program" and keep it consistent. 3. I truly believe in strength training, but I also find that it affects my cycling training negatively as I´m left with sore and or fatigued muscles. Finding the balance between enough and not enough strength training is difficult.

@flsalgadoa 20 дней назад

Great content and advice. It makes a lot of sense.

@brandonhoffman4712 23 дня назад

Injury is why im riding a bike now! A broken back puts a damper on the 10 mile hikes... Im still working off the weight gain from bedrest.

@markmark2469 24 дня назад

Like the video and agree with all your points. My performance went to a whole new level when I started doing more elevation work. I sort of use my elevation work in lieu of strength training for the most part. Is there any better terrain to train on than rolling hills? It is like the best interval workout, and you can hit it at an easy pace or an intense pace depending on the day and how you are feeling. My Strava headline on an intense day is "Crushing Hills and Recovering on the Flats". :)

@lovaught 8 дней назад

So frustrating for me. I kicked up to 250ish ftp with little work. Next two years stay about the same despite more training, adding kettlebell lifting, and more specific training. Cant lose the last 10 lbs, cant break this weird plateau. Even upped to 200 miles a week the last 2 months(the max I can do time wise with kids) and not seeing anything yet past better endurance. Im at the why bother and go back to 100 miles a week time, its not worth it to be stuck in cat 4 power despite training more than a lot of 3s I know. Maybe not enough intensity? I do recovery weeks, generally get good sleep etc...meh.

@albertdee1139 24 дня назад

Thanks for the video, found it quite interesting. So, the consistency to recovery/adaptation ratio, does this change as one ages. A younger rider could ride 5-6 days a week and recover 1-2 days a week with some weight training thrown in, however, an older rider may only be able to handle 3-4 days of training a week with 3-4 days of recovery adaptation. Does this hold true? As long as the rider is consistent with this all should be good right?

@AcvaristulLenes 23 дня назад

I have horribly weak genes. At 42, I cycle 2 times a week (HIIT session + a long ride). My recovery time is around 3 days. In may, I added 3 more hours per week and ended up in non-functional overreaching. Lost one month of training (was not able to do any meanningful effort). I have a friend who is my age, my body type, a smoker, works more hours and has a family. His FTP is almost double of mine and when he goes out, he's doing a blast with his 120 km rides at an avg speed I cannot suistain for more than 20 km, at Zone 4. So, there's quite a variability in what the body can do.

@urouroniwa 23 дня назад

I'm having difficulty incorporating weight training as I can't wrap my head around how to deal with recovery. I'm late 50's, and about a year into my own self-coached structured training plan. It's been challenging, but fun. Everything you've said certainly strikes an accord with me (some of it I've learned the hard way). Strength training is really making my head spin, though. I'm riding 5 days a week and feel like I really need my rest days to be only for recovery. Any thoughts?

@RyanC232 День назад

Your strength training will only augment your bike strength. My legs have never felt fatigued from doing my four leg days a week. Plus by riding you clear out all of that lactic acid that you build up

@Bobbylegs37 11 дней назад

It sounds like the biggest thing I'm missing is strength training. Do you have any videos on a workout routine or what workouts are best?

@semiprocycling 10 дней назад

Hey @Bobbylegs37, it's a bit hard to list in a comment but you're looking for exercises that match all four quadrants of the pedal stroke. If you message me at my website I can help you out with a more detailed answer.

@foldinghome8593 21 день назад

But what's the difference between aerobic capacity training and endurance training? The training described here for endurance training seems equal to aerobic capacity training. What do I get wrong?

@deDANIEL11609 20 дней назад

Endurance is zone 2, aerobic is also Z3+Z4 below the FTP.
