    • @ewu2030
      @ewu2030 Год назад +17

      lose weight to begin with, do zone 2 twice a week for about 1.5 hours, then do session of tempo, SS, threshold and vo2max, each 4 weeks progressive load increase and 1 week break with mostly z2 in between. it's not only about w/kg in a ramp test if you can't recover after a harder effort to ride for 3-4 hours. If you only want to get your FTP higher, go and search on training peaks some ftp increase sessions that you can do indoor. simply put if you want more ftp you need to train that adaptation, but make sure you do those Z2 sessions. Even Inigo tells in some other discussions he is doing 1h of Z2 then do some harder intervals and then go and finish it with some Z2 to clear the lactate (the last z2 will be at lower power than the first to help clear all the lactate)
      and the easy way to do this, hire a coach as that will give you the best possible outcome for you since it will be personalized for your time and current fitness and so on

    Peter's talk about medication @ 11:00 brings up an important topic for millions of people: What if you're taking stimulant medication for ADHD which increases heart rate? Does this mean you actually have to work at a higher heart rate to achieve Zone 2 than without? I notice Z2 days with adderall or vyvance def feel like "less work" (almost effortless) vs days without. I've never heard anyone talk about this. If someone on Dr. Attia's team reads this - please add this question to be addressed!

      Attia, in his book and all his videos/pods, notes that rate of perceived exertion is a better gauge of Z2 than HR.
      So, if you can talk for a bit in full sentences but it’s uncomfortable, and (if on the phone) the other person can definitely tell you’re doing cardio, you’re likely in Z2 regardless of HR (Z2 won’t always correlate with HR based on other factors as well, e.g. lack of sleep, stress, etc)

    At the 10:50 point (beta blocker Propranolol), to get more power per heartbeat, which is what he is saying, your heart has to pump more blood per heartbeat, which also increases the forces inside your heart. His analogy was like when you are "lugging" a car engine at a low RPM but high load, which is a good analogy, as your car is doing more work per revolution, increasing forces on your pistons. The uncomfortable feeling is from the high forces in your heart. Sounds a little damaging, dangerous even, to increase those forces during high intensity exercise with a drug. He shouldn't do that for longevity.

      This is an important point. There's a whole bunch of people who have been training very differently for many years, and may have aerobic deficiency syndrome. For them a lactate test, or if you don't have access to a lactate meter then other option would be to do a drift test and figure out what your zone 2 (or aerobic threshold is) and then you can start training to improve that.

    Probably my FTP is my zone 2. I have come to know my Z2, and can only hold it max 1 hour.
    I ride 50 miles, 3,000 elevation gain @ about 12 mph. I try to maintain my Z2 for about 30 minutes at a time.
    I feel my cardio gets stressed even in zone 1, if I go long, like over 5 hours.

    Interesting points on hr rise factor. On my weight training sessions I sometimes can't get past 140 bpm, while the norm is 155-165 or so. And on these days I always feel lethargic.
    While running I can talk complete short sentences to about the threshold of 80..83 % max HR in sustained effort (20 min+) when my level is good.
    Also noted that this threshold appears to track with fitness level.
    Winter times I don't run much and the ZONE2 fitness suffers. I pick it up each spring and see the HR level go up where I am able to hold conversation.

    What makes Peter worth listening to is when he's working through something hard like lipidology.
    The problem that Peter has is that he comes from a surgical perspective, in which there's a right way to perform a surgery, and a wrong way that will get you sued. He may never understand that there is no "right way" to exercise. There are simply several themes that you work within. The more that he tries to achieve the "correct" protocol, the more he tends to miss the mark, I think. (Writing as a physiotherapist with 32 years in practice.)

  • @WesT44553
    @WesT44553 Год назад +2

    A question I find myself asking often when talking about zone 2 training is how that fits in with weight lifting. I know zone 2 training is optimal for building up base level endurance (such as running distance) and training hard often increases stress. How does this fit in with someone who is training a mix of weights and running. Often times lifting coaches talk about training to near failure (high RPE). Should some of the lifting be done at lower intensities? Does the high intensity lifting require more lower intensity running to stay balanced?

    • @PlayGamesRideBikes
      @PlayGamesRideBikes Год назад

      I find a good mix of lifting heavy for majority of my workouts (rep ranges of 3-5 reps at RPE 8) for compound movements followed by majority of my riding at Z2 is the sweet spot. I don’t really get sore lifting at that level to the point of not being able to spend time at Z2 efforts. I’ll also have a group ride or harder trainer ride during the week that puts me at a decent amount of time near or above threshold.

    I will be 70 y.o. in April. I can carry on a conversation with HR at 160. I sometimes hit 180 HR out on the bike. I guestimate my maximum HR is around 190 but never go there. If riding with a top amateur in my town...say in a paceline at 27-28mph in a paceline, I start to go anaerobic with HR. at 185 or so and can't sustain it. My maximum sprint in my own air is about 30mph....a bit higher with lead out. I swim and bike almost every day. My resting heart rate is about 52 bpm when waking up in the morning coming of out sleep.
    I am probably top 5-10% for my age for speed within the 'average biking community'. There are certainly faster elite cyclists with higher VO2 around my age, but not a lot in my town.

      Thanks for your reply. I am not a small rider. I am 6'1" and 185 lbs with long legs and arms. I have a youthful looking body, largely due to all the swimming I do, i.e. upper body development and light weight lifting. I grew up a competitive swimmer. I will say, I know two 'elite' riders around my age with much lower HR however with more endurance on the bike. One is 74 years old. He can ride 22mph in his own air mile after mile with me in his draft. I have more top end power than he does in a sprint but he has better endurance. We have ridden together in fast group rides for many years and he speculates he has outlier genetics which I believe to be the case. His father lived to be 106. He has a freakish heart and/or lungs and V02 max. He does train harder than me and rides more miles. Another is 65 years old and a very small man as you mentioned that is freakishly fast on the bike. To give you an idea, I also own a high power electric roadbike I built and use for zone 2 recovery riding that I sometimes ride with elite younger riders because they are my friends and I enjoy speed. This 65 year old racer can hold my wheel at 30 mph in my draft for as long as I care to go with motor assist. He is the fastest 65 y.o. in my town and there are a handful that were competitive racers and still very fast. Honestly, I am astounded by his speed on the bike. Small, aero, no fat, great muscle tone. The body of a 30 y.o. He rides constantly at 25 mph in his own air. I can't hold his wheel at full gas.

    @fungjoon 2 месяца назад

    Peter/ Inigo: i gradually titrate the incline on treadmill to find my zone 2. there is a point where my heart rate doesn't go up proportionally to the incline increase. this brief plateau is the top of my zone 2. If i push through a bit more, I'll suddenly come into a new pocket of energy, this is when my body has switched from fat oxidation to glycolytic energy. These thresholds are not at the same heart rate each day, depends on my recovery state, multifactorial. hence training by defined heart rate zones should just serve as a guide.

    My heart rate only reaches 60% even with maximum effort in cold weathers. On the other hand, in hot and dry weather, zone 2 effort raises my heart rate to 90% sometimes. So it seems like for me, heart rate is more dependent on temperature than effort. So I just pay attention to RPE only these days.

    But what if you titrate the dose of propanolol lower so that you achieve what you are looking for; Zone 2//HR around 80%max// around 3 watts/kilo......dose is perhaps is too much and relies on diastolic heart filling which can only be increased so much to achieve the same stroke volume. At a dose of 20mg, perhaps you get your diastolic filling dynamics optimized to account for a lower heart rate..?

I even struggle getting it that high on a bike, if there is no hill to climb.

      After around 2 years of a lot (around 10 hours per week) of aerobic training I think my top Z2 is just under 75% Max HR (which is something I’ve observed once in training and once in a race). I can maintain that for around 3 hours on a bike (indoor turbo) before muscle fatigue becomes noticeable and I start getting heart rate drift upwards. That is at 3.6w/kg. When I started I couldn’t go so long at that power without getting cumulative fatigue. I worked instead at 65-70% Max HR and gradually built volume on the bike to 2 hour sessions. Then I started increasing my power to ride at higher % Max HR and have got to 74% Max HR at 2-2.5 hours usually and feeling I can do the talk test plus repeat a number of days. My guess is that you are developing both localised fatigue resistance (legs) and aerobic pathways (including heart size/strength) and there may be a limiter in one of those areas. Gradually building volume I think may gradually eliminate your limiter (which could be local muscle fatigue resistance or heart or something else). I always fuel well when doing top Z2 - I’m burning a lot of energy doing 280W for 2 hours. That also helps faster recovery so you can repeat the next day and so on.

      @@jeremyleake6868 thank's for the insides, very informative. Actually I never did cardio training just for that purpose, nor ever owned a road bike. I just do a lot of transport on bike and in addition did a lot of mountaineering with high cardio profile. Years ago I also travelled long distances by touring bike, with tons of baggage, visiting relatives all over the nation. Sometimes up to 200kms per day, with 30+ kg of stuff several days back to back.

      @@mangiari The only extra thing I’d add is that in my experience Inigo’s prescription for intensity (towards top Z2), length (ideally 1.5 hours or more) and frequency (ideally 4 times a week) of Z2 really works for improving the LT1 threshold. 1 hour per session is good, but 1.5 hours really improves it. I include in that the warm up (I ramp for 15 mins from very low power, my legs need that to ‘acclimatise’ and it feels so much better and so more motivating) and cool down (5-10 mins). Some of the ramp up will be Z2 if your steady state part is top Z2. I found it effective not to try and cheat and increase power too quickly as my LT1 increased. Ie don’t be tempted to ride at a power that makes your HR go up if you think you can take it, because it will either adversely affect your third or fourth session that week or you will get too much cumulative fatigue the following week (especially if you’ve done one or two high intensity workouts plus resistance training). The trick is to hold back the ego and desire to improve too fast, especially for highly motivated athletes.

My understanding is that 140bpm is equal demanding for elite and intermediate, just the wattage/speed is way lower in the latter.

I don't strictly go by heart rate, i mostly try for perceived exertion across the durations that I ride.

    Please stop calling zone 2 metabolic energy stage as zone 2. Experts that use the zone 2 reference confuse it with heart rate zone which is not the same thing. Use the phrase Stage 2 because in affect that is more accurate. Just saying zone without qualifying your reference confuses people that hear zone 2. When talking about power zone 2 it is understood. So let's start using "Stages" for referencing energy system training since there is only 3. Stage 1 is mainly fat burning, stage 2 is fat/carb transitional mix, and stage 3 is mainly carbs. Now we are all using the same nomenclature and have a common understanding. Yay!

      Chill man. Gardners requirements don’t fit my personal goals, however I think it would be interesting to see someone that is on the higher end of protein intake and advice discuss protein requirement for people with different goals as I do think there is a bit of confusion with the idea of muscle mass, strength, and aging. Having strong, lean muscle mass vs bulking hypertrophy mass are two different things for aging. Building muscle vs building strength and how those relate to eachother in aging are also nuances that should be further discussed. If your muscle mass stays the same, but you double your strength, that’s probably better than building a lot of muscle with not as much strength, etc.
