Nice interview. Interesting how the old school methods were more fun/enjoyable. Newer methods not much fun/enjoyment.

Great video. Interesting to hear how training has evolved over the years; From loads of tempo to hours and hours riding at 150-250 watts, clearly z1 to low z2 assuming he has an FTP of 400 watts. Give that a thought. Clearly IF during the bulk of riding isn’t that important, as long as it is low enough not to induce to much fatigue to impair the hard workouts. Just get the hours in.

I feel riding loads at 200-250w is done because that is still relatively easily fuelable (is that a word?). I feel that it should not be read as a low Z2 ride but as a carb-expinditure-capped ride.

That’s a really good point
