I had such a thick skull and ego with my training until late last year. I used to YOLO every session "cause I got that dawg in me" and once I started forcing myself to follow some better training principles every metric that matters improved radically and immediately. If I could put it in a sentence: Zone 2 training is what enables, empowers, and improves all of the other areas of exertion. That is what I perceive and understand the data to point towards and exactly what I have experienced in my own work.

Moto is high intensity work. People riding once a week are doing high intensity that day 80/20 split is what most trainers recommend. Running zone 2 4 times a week and riding once is 80/20.

The "RAW METHOD" didn't appear overnight, but is the result of over 20 years of research by one of the leading experts in the field of mental conditioning. RAW is based on a physical and mental relaxation process in combination with positive information. This confidence building info, which includes all the benefits previously mentioned, forms the proper attitude and a frame of mind that allows you to realize your true potential-you're the best!

Not everyone needs a bunch of zone 2 or rigid structure... Sure, if it's your job to be an athlete, that's the way to make the most of your career, but I do this shit for fun! Consistent and dedicated, but semi-random is working well for me. I get out as often as I can, eat healthy, recover as needed, and never make excuses. For a guy in my mid 40's, my fitness is excellent and I'm crushing the fun category. https://www.strava.com/athletes/108775266

Dude not great honestly idk if I want to turn it into a shop or a storage facility. I need space but I also want a sweet containment zone for all things 2 wheels. I’ll keep you posted😂

Nope you just had terrible running economy and low adaptation. Keep working at it and you’ll be golden. I’m 217 as of this morning (and still gaining) and can run 9:00 miles around 130-135 bpm. VO2 max is good but it’s mostly a flex. Most athletes don’t know what to do with it. Think: getting smoked at Nurburgring by some cat in a Miata that just is a better driver.

Get this AI bullish*t out of here. If you’re here to solicit your online training website, at least do it yourself instead of using the dam robot.

I personally enjoy really long motos. Problem in most local races are 5 laps. At my age and ability training and racing sprint races aren’t the best idea. Local racing in Southern California they’re 2 clubs that have long motos. SRA GP’s and VET MX have longer motos where endurance wins out over sprint speed.

If possible, get an e-bike if you want to have the z2 effect and still climp. Going into z3 on climbs ruins the whole z2 session. Also why Z2 shall be minimum 1h, preferably 2. Slow twitch is slow to develop. Recruiting fast twitch, "disconnects" slow twitch and you have to start over. It's not exactly the science, but simplified
