Why You Find Zone 2 Training Hard!

[@TDArcher]

I absolutely love the way you break things down. Its so easy to digest and apply. Thank you so much for sharing you knowledge!

[@BulletproofCycling]

Thank you 🙏

[@kevinhanna6112]

just got myself a wahoo kicker and I think it will help me narrow down my Z2

[@mikezuraw6420]

Thank you for all you do.

[@victoriablair8347]

Wow, THANK YOU for these amazing videos. Smartest, most realistic, knowledgeable, clearly experienced and entertaining coach. Best videos I've seen on Zone 2! So appreciated!

[@BulletproofCycling]

Thank you Victoria 🙏👍

One of the best Coach's videos since i startet following him on september 22.

[@geejay1123]

it's nice to hear an actual coach explain things.

[@BulletproofCycling]

Thank you 🙏

[@hlbatista]

Coach, thanks for your insight and your sarcastic comedy. I have watched a couple of your Z2 videos and have gained some great useful information that I have begun to incorporate into my workouts.

[@JDRELGOR]

Tuned in from Spain, 28 degrees at the moment.

[@therider867]

From Las Vegas, Nevada here. Just spent a week in Southern Florida, and I'm about to go again. Thought my home elevation would give me an edge. But I had it backwards. South Florida air is like breathing soup. Zone 2 for 90 minutes had me wiped out.

[@BulletproofCycling]

Interesting - just tale a few days of easy riding when you go back to get used to the air - if you are part of my community group then I would love to hear how the second trip goes

[@luannproctor672]

U are so funny.😂😂😂 And im going to try to follow your direction and ty so much for the info!

[@BulletproofCycling]

Thank you - good luck

[@rabbitlemon]

Wish I’d found you earlier. Really helpful and entertaining - plus you real on nutrition

[@ghoti7520]

Thanks coach l do 3 z2 (1hr to 1.5 hrs) 1 vo2s and do long ride on Sundays 100 to 110kms..

[@showmethegoodstuff8763]

Watching lots of your clips from Florida….

[@kiocpm22]

Hi there coach, great content, thanks! Ever thought about posting this lives at spotify as a podcast? Cheers from Brazil!

[@BulletproofCycling]

Thanks Caio - never knew I could do that

[@hlobend2111]

Zone 2 is tops 103 bpm for me. That makes it very boring , and almost impossible to maintain during windy days. But have a fitness level of a 62 year old so at times I use 110 as my top end number for zone two. Regardless no matter both are hard to maintain. Easier on solo rides but group ride not possible. Thanks.

[@doskraut]

FTP = 260W, I checked strava and in my 3 months of cycling my best was 180W. So I guess I'm in zone 2 not bad.

[@chrishigson1963]

Watching this on the trainer in the middle of zone 2 coach 👍

[@bojanvasic8273]

Hi coach. You are really good at this. Please add captions to this video.

[@luannproctor672]

I want to improve so much. I still have loads of potential. I am, alas, inconsistent af😂. This will help a lot

[@BulletproofCycling]

One day at a time - all those micro tasks add up to big ones!

[@scottheitmanmarinesurvey3557]

Put a different way. If my perceived zone 2 (upper limit) is 200 watts (I can talk in full sentences and things feel pretty easy for one hour there) can I then infer an accurate FTP without an FTP test?

[@combatfightingarts]

ok, after hearing your "lines of poetry", I am going to guess that you are Scottish? I was born in Scotland by accident, but unfortunately raised in the US. I am 55 and just started riding a road bike about 2 months ag, trying to use it to get back into shape and build myself back up after multiple heart attacks. I actually had my latest heart attack on April 13th trying to climb hills here in Hawaii and then completed two 100k Metric Century Rides in the last week of April. I am now trying to train for a 100 mile Century Ride coming up in September. The whole "zones" area is brand new to me, and I am trying to grasp a basic understanding of what they are and how they work so that I can start using them in my training instead of just trying to ride further each week.

[@terrymartin7823]

when you say do 4x8 mins threshold test is that in middle of threshold Zone or you FTP THANKS

[@pierresmith6999]

Thanks!

[@gerrysecure5874]

First people tweak their ftp tests to get the highest possible number (e.g leaving out 5min all out before 20min or using 75% from MAP) to impress their friends, then they go on a bad day with the highest calculated z2 upper limit for the longest ride on the hottest day and are surprised its hard. There is no cure for common sense killed by inflated ego.

[@douglasbooth6836]

My ftp is way to high if i do a 20 min test. No way i could hold the number given for 1hour.

[@EmrysJones]

After watching alot of video on z2 I've always been told want to be near thr upper limit of z2 for most benefits but I guess if your ftp is åbit high from a race on zwift or work, my ftp after a TT on zwift came back at 285, did 300 Watts for 20 mins, I've tried doing workouts like gorby and after the first 5 min block I can't repeat it, I mean even if I drop it from 315 down to 290 i still can't do it 😂 and atm my z2 i ride at is 200-210 which maybe wrong if my ftp is too high 🤔

loool!! fuckin hell mate!

[@garylsjohn]

I'd quite like to listen to what this guy has to say, but the constant use of expletives becomes tiring after a while. Shame.
