SWEET SPOT GOT POPPED ON

WHEN ZONE2/POLARIZED TRAINING got really poopular, Zone3/Sweetspot got popped on. It was no longer cool or appreciated...

... in fact it was scorned.

Bad call.

But, how can you say that Diesel?

Easy.

You're an idiot.

Maybe.

And stupid.

Probably.

Is that all you can do, just back down and take it?

Now you're understanding my point.

I don't get it.

And you probably never will because you don't think things through, you just mindlessly go with the trends.

So do you!

No, I test them. Glean what I can. Move forward.

Ok, then why is Zone2/Polarized Training not as good as Zone3/Sweet Spot training?

It's not, not as good or not not as bad.

Huh?

I know, it's hard for you to comprehend. Sit down.

Ugh!

Ok, now listen up... there isn't a race in the world that is going to act like any particular training method. But, they are all going to have specific demands and we can...

... put in the proper training to meet those demands.

I need an example.

Here's one: crit racing is a whole lot of under/overs... thresh hold/VO2max.
Here's another: endurance MTB racing is a whole lot of Sweetspot
One more freebie: triathlon is piles of Zone 2.

I think I understand.

I doubt it.

What should I do then?

Try this, just for bibs and jiggles...
... specific workouts to improve your weaknesses during the week, race simulation on Saturday.
