Cycling Physiology: Training Zones, Fat vs. Carb Burning, Muscle Fiber Types, Polarized Training
Landry posted an awesome blog recently, and I wanted to highlight some of the big points in this video:
1. I only have 60 minutes to ride; should I make it a tempo ride?
2. What are the benefits of the "middle" zone, say tempo or low threshold?
3. Is there an appropriate time to do intervals by RPE and not look at the numbers?
4. I know I shouldn't go for KOMs on every ride, so how can i incorporate that? It's fun!
5. How "bad" are surges on Zone 2 rides? Let's say if I only have 5 of them
6. Muscle fiber types, Do anaerobic fibers become aerobic fibers with endurance training?
7. If my training already has 3-6% of Zone 5 and 6, do you think I'll get faster with more endurance miles?

Lucas Di Rossi: Heart Rate at Altitude, Sugar GO FAST, Coach Relationship, Cycling Interval Training
Huge thanks to Lucas for jumping on the podcast! We connected as his teammate, James Piccoli, had been on previously, and we were chatting on Instagram and decided to record a quick podcast. His thoughts on "writing your own story" is something that I have reflected on this past week; I hope you enjoy writing yours as you hear some wise words from Lucas. And of course, we chatted carbs and intervals as well.
Thanks Lucas!
