He highlights recent research suggesting that newer or less fit cyclists may benefit more from a pyramidal training approach, which emphasizes tempo and threshold work, rather than a strictly polarized approach. The discussion delves into the physiological adaptations that occur with different training styles, including fiber type conversions and the importance of efficiency and technique for newer riders. Bobo emphasizes that every rider should incorporate various training zones into their regimen, while also considering individual strengths and weaknesses.Chapters:01:21 Why Tempo vs Polarized Training Is Being Reconsidered02:50 New Research Comparing Pyramidal and Polarized Training03:45 Why Newer Riders Improve VO₂ Max More With Tempo07:14 Tempo, Efficiency, and Training Tolerance for Beginners12:17 Who Should Train With More Tempo and Threshold Work👋🏽 If you're new to the channel, welcome!
