CHOPPING WOOD AND ZONE 2 TRAINING
COMMITTING TO ZONE 2 TRAINING HAS SOME LIMITATIONS AND BENEFITS. For example, it's hard to find a training partner who's zone 2 will match up, which means...
... we have plenty of alone time.
How to use that wisely?
Personally, I use to listen to podcasts or books while spinning along.
Not any more.
I prefer unplugged riding...
- My brain needs a rest
- Outside has many wonderful sounds
- All the better to hear any encroaching danger.
... because it reminds of the great Rocky IV training montage.
Not the wood chopping
running in snow
rock throwing.
Those scenes are epic, but for me it's what is going on inside Rocky's head.
While he's laying all the epic base strength...
... he's thinking.
How is he going to demolish Drago?
And, as the great Tony Robbins points out....
... the quality of the questions determine the quality of the answers.
Somewhere in all that crazy non-traditional and very raw prep Rocky finds his answer...
... maybe it's the scene where he chops down the giant tree?
That doesn't really matter.
What matters is what are we thinking about on these long Zone 2 rides?
