The base training advice you've been getting from social media and indoor riding platforms is wrong.
Riding only Zone 2 all winter doesn't work for cyclists with less than 8 hours a week to train. Riding hard indoors doesn't work either. In this video, Coach Frank Overton (aka BigCat) breaks down how to build a REAL aerobic base on just 4–8 hours per week, using the Sweet Spot training methodology he has pioneered for the past 20 years.
You'll learn:
1️⃣ Where base training actually fits in your annual plan
2️⃣ Why Zone 2-only training fails when volume is low
3️⃣ The biggest base-training mistakes cyclists make indoors
4️⃣ Why Sweet Spot delivers more aerobic gains per minute
5️⃣ How to measure base fitness using OTS & Level
6️⃣ What a real month of base training looks like (calendar example)
This is the same approach we've used for over 20 years to help time-crunched amateur cyclists get stronger, more durable, and faster without burning out.
