I’ve noticed every generation of young riders kinda re-invents the wheel with their terminology. But not a lot has really changed in 30 years. Polarization used to be go all out on hard days and on easy days ride like a grandma. Over/unders used to be called cross-cross workouts. Sweat spot used to be cruise intervals. You never hear the term “over distance training” or “my long day”. Great vid
