Today I am guiding you through the polarized training method in Cycling (also called the 80/20 method). This approach will boost your performance on the bike even if you are an amateur cyclist, just as I am. I do explain the background of this method and also how you can put it into action. The polarized training found its ground in the years 2000s thanks to the sports scientist Stephen SEILER. It consists in focusing on a low-intensity zone called Zone 2 as base training for 80% of your time. Rest is devoted to high intensity in Zones 4 to 6.
We will go through the calculation of your FTP (Functional Treshold Power) and the setting of your training zones using a QUARK power-meter and a GARMIN watch EPIX Gen 2.
This video was shot on the IZU peninsula in Japan with wonderful view of the Mount. Aeral views were shot using a DJI drone - the DJI Mini 3 Pro. Training was performed on a Specialized Aethos Pro bike.
