This is why we have hill climb season in the UK - something fun to do before getting down to business in November

I’ve been looking for something like this for a couple of weeks after having to take an earlier break off the bike than I would have liked due to work. Nice vid 👍🏼.

EXACTLY what I just wrote to my coach on a year end assessment...🙏

Love those 40/20's, 30/15's, and long threshold efforts. I like to go out to a long climb and ride slightly under my FTP for 50-60 min. I've never tried VO2 over 5 min intervals. That sounds rough lol

@thomasjackson4702 3 ай бұрын

Great advice... for the 6x6 @ 110-115% of FTP what should the 4min rest intervals be at? e.g.. Z1, Z2, Z3

Structure of recovery intervals during VO2 max workout: First minute in zone 1 - to flush lactate and release muscle pump, Three minutes in easy zone 2 - for HR recovery before next effort.

Is another alternative just start your base early and have an extended base period to go even higher on that (if that floats your boat)? I can also see a benefit in doing experimental workouts too (while not overdoing them) as the ‘cost’ of them being ineffective is lowest at this point in the season but you might learn something new.

usually don't see people going "higher" per se, just more away from intensity and then it takes longer to get that back under their belt.

@@EVOQBIKE I thought base training was to get your LT1 back up - ie high power at low (70-75% max HR) heart rate. How do you measure how much your base (I’m assuming LT1) has improved and what training improves it if not base training? Or are you saying in a season there’s a limit to what you can do to improve it? Thanks

@EVOQBIKE 3 ай бұрын

that is true, but what I'm saying is that there shouldn't be endless base. 5 months is too long in my opinion

can you talk about ultra indurance riding after cretricing for a while

@EVOQBIKE 3 ай бұрын

did you mean crit racing? if you want to start doing ultra, def just start logging some LONG rides...4-5H at first, then ramp up towards longer distances if they are applicable to your ultra goals!

@@EVOQBIKE Yes, the phone autofixes the words haha. I was going to ask if you could bring up a little more complex topics that have also become more common in recent years such as the transition of riders from short to long races, and from one day races to long bikepacking races. And also is it possible to have a season with many short races and one long race successfully? Many things that interest me in this field.

@EVOQBIKE 2 ай бұрын

@@yaelkirs good idea! a lot of the training stays similar, in that even for long bikepacking, the higher your FTP and VO2Max, the better one will perform. There is some nuance here, but it's definitely not advised to ONLY do really long rides. yes, def can do both long and short!
