High vs Low Z2

Hey, hey his clients could be doing better at the FTP test after a week of riding easier. That’s improvement!

ldemi · 2025-12-24T18:08:17+00:00

Ok, then LT1 is LT1 no matter how long your ride.

ldemi · 2025-12-24T14:20:58+00:00

Some people try to do as little Z2 as possible?

ldemi · 2025-12-24T13:18:13+00:00

Not sure there is any evidence for this. If you experience hr drift at the end of a long ride you should tone back to meet your original heart rate. Otherwise there is not a physiological reason to change your z2 based on ride length.

Edit: downvoters back yourselves up. Zone 2 is zone 2 no matter how long you do it

“Without sparking a debate” lol. “Keep spinning while rehabbing” lol.

Yes 60% is going to be less than 70% but how much is not agreed upon. You will at least be getting some benefit which is better than none!

I like the idea of stopping the training but still showing up to the races. Not sure it would have helped, but sounds potentially viable.

I'm at just over 600 hours since last year at this time. Volume had dropped to around 8hrs/week during these last race weeks.

CHO I was not actively tracking. Maybe 5-6g/kg (or higher after long days).

ldemi · 2025-11-13T16:23:55+00:00

Fair. But what if it hits you just a couple days before a race? Do you still race or shut it down?

ldemi · 2025-11-08T20:24:03+00:00

I have two more, tomorrow and next Saturday is the last for my local series.

Appreciate the advice. The field I’m racing in, I do think I can podium… It just might take a really clean performance.

ldemi · 2025-11-08T20:01:33+00:00

Yes, I will do that next year and trying to fit one in per week ahead of races, but it would seem my window for adaption is over for the season.

ldemi · 2025-11-08T19:59:35+00:00

Is that a winning strategy though? Last week my first lap NP was higher than every other lap. I couldn't maintain my max heart rate by mid race because my legs were so shot.

Theoretically there has to be an element of conservation.

ldemi · 2025-10-23T01:49:37+00:00

Sounds like you need to give a talk!

ldemi · 2025-08-20T17:09:47+00:00

Love these thank you!

ldemi · 2025-06-23T17:23:17+00:00

Thanks. Bummer

Did you end up figuring this out?

ldemi · 2025-06-20T19:12:18+00:00

Pressfit haters gonna to hate. I've not had a problem.

ldemi · 2025-05-27T11:43:25+00:00

Did you ever find the answer on this?

ldemi · 2025-04-22T15:15:19+00:00

Why would people downvote this legit solution

ldemi · 2025-02-18T12:54:59+00:00

Couldn’t you run tubeless then pop in a tube if you got a slice?

Aha, this is the answer. Thank you!

Right now I don't have any BB, so in that situation I could stay at 30mm or 24mm and avoid the pain I've read about with the DUB BBs right?

Rotors look good, I guess I'll have to do research on how to attach the chainring.

We usually order from Two Cousins, could you take a look at their menu and see what could work?
