Adding Z2 - do it before or after intervals?

Not exactly what you asked but answers your question (I think). 7:31 mins into this video. Context: discussion between him and Attia about when to do some intensity mid-ride. Also addresses the OP original question. Prior to KM, The_Cog, etc. refuting this, most of us would have taken it as an accepted model (gospel), because it is ISM.

Thanks. That is the context I needed.

I have to admit that my eyes glaze over with ISM. He seems to shroud the simplest things in mystery. 2mmol - need a lactate meter to ride his “zone 2”. Talk test - easy enough to understand but depending on how I interpret the talk test, there can be a 30+ watt variance. Is it classic Z2, tempo or sweet spot? I just use my zones from WKO5.

@The_Cog Hey, I really enjoyed the double episode podcast you did with Kolie Moore. You guys covered a lot!
