[The Problem With TrainerRoad Training Plans] submitted without comment, I just started watching lol

At the root, what is really being discussed in this thread is efficacy vs. effectiveness. Just because something studied “in a lab” is found to be more efficacious does not mean it will be more effective than something else in the real world. This is true in medicine all of the time - and is why p…

Preach it. You and I are just about the same including the hilly outdoor rides where it is impossible to ride Z1 and Z2 if I want to actually make it up the hills at any pace over 3 mph. I ride LV and can’t handle much more than an hour twice a week during the week with my work schedule and family…

He’s talking to a pro rider who just said that he doesn’t use polarized training. I guess that we can argue about classification of pro, but that doesn’t seem productive. I don’t think that he was saying that KG has never touched an endurance ride or a VO2 max interval either. Nate was just pointin…

It’s funny … I am just like Nate in that regard. I can handle 500 TSS … and I can maybe eke out a week of 600 - 700 — but it has to be mainly at low intensity and has to be structured just right or I get sick just like Nate does every time. If I do back to back 600+ weeks, I’m generally off the bi…

I am in the same boat. I was 500-600 TSS each week this year from the first week of may though the end of June (hit by a car so derailed training a bit), and had no issues, but most of this was endurance to sweet spot solo rides outside. Just cruising around at a good clip, but not killing myself. I…

[image] dby2222: there are different training modalities that are practiced by professional riders. That’s not a controversial stance, is it? It is when you present it in a negative manner as the ONLY modality ever used in order to promote your own anchored modality (i.e. commercial success). …

[image] old_but_not_dead_yet: don’t fool yourself into thinking that you’re getting the most out of yourself. I guess we all have different views on what that “most” needs to include. Sometimes, for some people, it includes more than the bike (Gasp!!!)
