I agree. I did that with my zone 2+ yesterday, just did it on feel, average power was 20 watts up and felt great and enjoyed it and didn't feel extra fatigue and heart rate was pretty much in zone.

So how Long do I do these for and what interval length??

I have no clue how people manage to do such long zone 2 rides! I've only been riding with a smart trainer for 5 months and I'm @90 minutes but planning to hit 2hours over the next 2-3 weeks. Blows my mind when I hear "if your crunched for time, just do a short zone 2 TWO hours ride" it's so mentally boring/training .

As a coach of 15 years, I disagree. Over/Unders do have their place (eg lactate clearance). But that does not somehow make steady state intervals bad or redundant. As a coach you should have a wide range of tools and the knowledge to know when and how to apply them. If an athlete has been doing steady state intervals and no longer seeing great gains, then applying a different stimulus such as over/unders could be a good option. But it does not make what they were doing previously suddenly bad. I was very fortunate to have a great mentor when I started coaching, he used to say "ask me if you should do "X" interval and I will probably say Yes. Ask me if you should do "X" interval, and I will probably say no.

thanks for the comment Geoff! yes we were probably a bit high on the o/u train when we posted this a while back, and do see the benefit of steady state also. I think of steady state as very helpful in base and building, and O/U really tops things off and does more that needle at the end with the vo2 over portions being quite helpful. but you're right, this was a bit "don't do X" on our part. thanks!

Let’s or confuse adaptation processes with racing realities, big difference between a jump and a sustained solo attack, we need to do both training events to learn how to do both and for our bodies to adapt to their different energy demands and mental focus.

There is a difference between physical and mental adaption. If you do long distance triathlon you must get mentally used to push relatively steady for hours, if you do mtb races you must be used to spiking. However the basic physiology namely being able to average hundreds of watts needs the same base physiology training, high volume z2 and some vo2max. IMHO anything else like sweet spot, threshold etc is race specific fine tuning. Gebrsellasie dominated 3-10k running for a decade, then getting older he ran a few marathons and broke the world record. Intensity specifity is overrated in sub world class level.

disagree. ive found it works great for me to hold whatever power i want to be more efficient at. of course i work above ftp too, but i also incorporate ftp work into my weeks.

I still don’t understand study state what is this means you have to ride fast ? Slow? Or what
@EVOQBIKE

steady state refers to constant power, like trying to hold 100% FTP, as opposed to Over Unders, where you fluctuate at different % over FTP, and different ones under FTP. hope that helps!

@@EVOQBIKE ok I understand about the constant power but can you please explain the rest in east words
