Join us live for Episode 196 of the Ask a Cycling Coach Podcast! We’ll be doing a deep dive on rest and recovery for athletes, getting into the specifics of motorpacing and why it is a good training tool, and why short Zone 2 workouts are more valuable than you think. Join us this Friday at 8:00am Pacific on Facebook and YouTube.

Are short Zone 2 workouts important or just filler?
This is a response to quite active thread on forum here:
I’m skipping Pettit today as my legs still feel a little tired from yesterday’s workout. This got me thinking about 1 hour zone 2 workouts like Pettit. Are there any benefits to doing these rides? Surely they are too short and too easy? They just seem like extra TSS without any real benefit. “Junk miles” if I was riding outside. What are your thoughts? Is there any science that would suggest otherwise?
It was very briefly discussed in episode 55, starting at 23:09 .

Hiya! Thanks for the podcast. Any chance that you can post your travel list, @Nate_Pearson ? Would be great for a beginner racer. Cheers!

For Race bags check out theILE Race Day bag . It’s a little pricey but I’ve never had a better bag for bike stuff.

@Nate_Pearson is looking pretty diesel these days. Did you get a pump in right before the podcast?

Yeah I guess I could spend $150 on that…or spend $20 on this:
The lens distortion makes Chad and I look bigger than we are. But I have been trying to work on my upper body as it was a limiter for me in mountain biking.
I actually don’t do a list. I find I spend so much time making the list…then every race is a tiny bit different.
I always think toes to head about what I’m bringing, so:
Shoes
Socks
Shoe covers
Leg warmers
etc
