> Bottom line is that doing tons of Z2 leaves me feeling strong, fresh, and w/o fatigue, even though the mathy metrics say I should be suffering. Doing a ton of SS (e.g. SSBHV+) loads me up with too much stress and fatigue. The results of both types of training are reflected in my heart behaviour – healthy & responsive vs smashed & fried (tested w/ VO2 intervals).

TB is _not_ for pushing FTP gains.
