Who is Scott?
I've been in sports performance, coaching and testing for over 30 years. Yep, before the internet! My journey has involved some wonderful adventures as both a performer and a coach. As a sports scientist I have never stood still and always pushed boundaries and limits. The rewards of this have seen me work with multiple national champions and internationalists. My intense curiosity though for fitness and performance gains has made huge impacts on the life’s of what folks may call - the everyday athlete. I aim to use KZbin to share my knowledge of how to both improve your physical fitness and your mindset. How you train harder or even train less to make more progress! I will share with you how you can improve your mindset and apply simple daily routines to check your progress. I want to also use the channel to have fun! So, although I can be a geek for science at times, my ENFP personality does mean you need to expect the unexpected at times. 😂

[@BulletproofCycling]

Thank you 🙏

[@victoriablair8347]

[@BulletproofCycling]

Thank you Victoria 🙏👍

[@kevinhanna6112]

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

[@geejay1123]

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

[@BulletproofCycling]

Thank you 🙏

[@izst3628]

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

[@mikezuraw6420]

Thank you for all you do.

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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….

[@pierresmith6999]

Thanks!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@melbournecyclingsegments7510]

Whales are huge!

[@rolandmarichal1250]

Lactic acid as fuel! Amazing

[@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?

[@terrymartin7823]

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

[@jinkim-sx3ym]

Very informative but hard to watch for over an hour.

[@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 🤔

[@nortonowitz]

5:17 😂

[@BulletproofCycling]

😂👍

[@michaelsingh843]

Nice glasses

[@BulletproofCycling]

Thank you 🙏

[@rickeverett3304]

And on the glow heads behind with historic caps too.

[@jkausel2008]

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.
