German podcast “Besenwagen”, Felix Großschartner as guest (experienced pro who moved after many years with Bora to UAE).
- UAE has many coaches, not all subscribe to zone 2 training
- his coach does and this is the main difference to his previous training at BORA: “Grundlage fahrst jetzt scho a bisserl schneller” (Germans/Austrians will make sense of this) → base endurance is ridden faster. He really likes this and he responds well. However, actual intensity is modulated by how he feels (!!!) and can vary by 20W from day to day. So this is not “let’s have a conversation about life” pace but not really tempo either.
- FTP ~ 6W/kg. Real world FTP after 5h of racing
