THE TRUTH ABOUT ZONE 2
ZONE 2, MYTH OR MAGIC? I do a lot of zone 2 training this time of year. The benefits are undeniable. But, only if you know what you're doing...
... few do.
It's a lot more than riding in a zone, and every single, married, and partnered up tri-athlete knows the secret...
... yet, we still often make fun of them.
There's a lot to make fun of, but perfecting zone 2 ain't one of them. Nope...
... we should worship the ground the run and ride on.
Most cyclists think of zone 2 as a heart rate training zone, and it is...
... but it is much, much more.
What the tri-cats do is they get in the zone...
... and this is the part most cyclists completely miss...
... then focus on going as fast as they can without getting out of the zone.
Do you see the difference?
It's not riding between 120-140, my zone 2...
... it's riding as fast as I can at that rate.
It's about efficiency...
pedal stroke
cadence,
position,
aeroness,
carrying speed,
tire pressure,
fueling,
comfort,
... you got it?
What results is a feeling of being a giant steamroller... immense momentum and power produced with ease and confidence.
I had that exact feeling last Saturday at the Filthy 50. I started 15 minutes behind everybody, due to a mechanical. Rather than hit and try and catch, I steamrolled in zone 2 and 3 and spend the next 3+ hours saying...
... on your left.
That my fine young cannibals is the benefit of zone 2 training from yours Diesely...
... who learned it racing triathlons when I was a wee lad.
