How Much Zone Two Should I Do? - Rider support
Episode description
Zone 2: everyone’s talking about it, but how much do you really need? In this episode of Rider Support, we dive into the great training debate — slow rides vs. speed work — and unpack what the science says about intensity balance, performance gains, and long-term fitness. With insights from Stephen Seiler’s 80/20 model and real-world advice from pro coaches, we explore how to train smarter whether you’ve got 6 or 16 hours a week. Is it better to grind intervals or build a diesel engine with easy miles? The answer might just change your training plan forever
