​@@kiersor In cycling you often calculate the power someone can put out divided by the body weight. That gives you a w/kg unit. This makes it easier to compare to other riders, especially when it comes to how fast someone can ride uphill. Zone 2 means an easy effort someone can sustain for many hours. For his personal zone2 he can put out a power many can't do for 5minutes. If you could do it for only 20 minutes, you would probably winning some local races here and there. He can sustain that for many hours and then obviously his 20minutes power is even way higher.

Definitely use HR to balance your power. It's often good practice to do so when doing long steady state rides. Use power early since HR lags in time, then use a combination to check fatigue levels or hydration. For me if my z2 power dips to z1 and my HR is still z2 in a long ride that usually means my fueling/hydration is insufficient as while fatigue your power may dip it usually should still be in the z2 range.

Zone 2 isn't actually a measure of heart rate, it's our aerobic threshold where we have lactate below about 2mmol. But because it's inconvenient to take lactate readings we try to equate it to a heart rate or rate of perceived exertion. But the fitter you are the higher it goes.

[@perman07]

You should view heart rate zones as an attempt to proxy what is going on energetically in the body. Blood lactate levels more accurately tell you that. RPE/breath intensity can be as telling as heart rate. So don't view the heart rate as the goal, view it as a method.

Petter, Actually lactate goes linear till 4 according to Maden( 1976) when it starts to go up exponentially above this threshold so zone 2 it’s a bit more intense going till 4 mmol, because it’s Still an intensity that can be sustained indefinitely for trained subjects. But zone 1 would be more like 2 mmol of concentration value being this a regenerative aerobic used to recover from a previous hard zone 2 or 3 training day but is not intended to be training base. He didn’t mention anything about lactate on his training but his heartbeat rate. Professional athletes use to have a functional bradycardia meaning they can reach higher lactate values and have a lower heart rate than the usual for the same power output compared to non athletes, because they are “ lactate eaters “. and so have the ability to keep high intensity indefinitely. They can produce and metabolize lactate at the same rate more than normal people. Botton line his lactate is even higher most likely reaching 4 during the majority of the training period and is still zone 2 because zone “2” doesn’t means 2 mmols of lactate but a concept that goes beyond it, as the higher intensity that can be sustainable metabolic speaking. 👍😉

[@paxundpeace9970]

It does raise turn faster a bit earlier point like 3.2 to 3.7 for most athlets.

[@leandromantovani4282]

@@paxundpeace9970 yes it actually does. Some people in the literature divide it into two concepts the threshold 1 and 2 being the 2 the actual threshold and should be done less frequently as a “hard zone 2” compared to the “easy zone2”. At any rate it’s still sustainable and it’s not necessarily this exact same numbers for everyone because the Lactate Threshold gave place today to another concept called Maxlass that would be the maximal lactate steady state and is been found by another test protocols. It was created after some observations that some athletes were outperforming the normal curve, some of them reaching even 7 mmol stable in the row exercise. The lactate is not a villain it is actually a good guy as a form of energy that can be turn back into glucose and even a buffer for acidosis not an acidic agent like most people thinks but it’s for another discussion. We need to keep in mind that is a marker of switching energy systems but is not exactly detrimental to your body to exercise on high lactate levels if you can keep it going. It’s actually what makes you increase your condition and don’t get stuck.

[@harmen1832]

Because he tries to stay in zone 2. So when he fatigues he has to slow down to stay in zone 2, to preventie lactate build up. Which probably leads to a lower heart rate. At least, thats my interpretation of what he is saying.

[@Wayword]

Nah nah, if you ride hard several days in a row, you'll see that your max attainable HR along with HR at submaximal steady power all go down a few bpm. It's a bit confusing because higher-than-usual HR at a given wattage could mean that you're fresh or that your fitness has gone down.

Tamau pogi is not the only Slovenian who was unreal racer! Check out this animal named Jure Robič! Won the race across America 5 times (then a recore in men's solo category) 2004--5-7.8 and 2010! They cheated him in 2009-he received atime penalty for urinating in a non designated place on the start day of the race! He was racing all over the globe, but died like half an hour from his home, when he was hit by a drunk driver

That’s over 5700 cal burned in 5 hrs of training at 320 watts. Insane.

[@Timba246]

isnt 140-150 bpm is not a zone2 by definition? well if his max heart rate is like 210 then of course but is it?

[@ramsden35]

320 to 340 zone 2! Nobody is catching this fella.
