Should Time-Crunched Cyclists Do Aerobic Base Training?


Listen Later

We've made some changes! To better focus on the topics and challenges our listeners are asking for, "The TrainRight Podcast" has been refocused to become The Time-Crunched Cyclist Podcast. In this episode, Coach Adam Pulford answers a question we frequently get early in the calendar year:

Should Time-Crunched Cyclists Do Aerobic Base Training?

Key topics in this episode:

  • Why 'base training' has value for Time-Crunched Cyclists
  • What 'base training' looks like when you're riding 6-8 hours/week
  • Yes, Zone 3 (Tempo, Sweetspot) is a valuable intensity for Time-Crunched Cyclists
  • How to combine Zone 2 and Zone 3 intensities to improve gains
  • Why adding short, anaerobic capacity intervals can be beneficial and low risk for TCCs during base period
  • How incorporating short training camps (endurance blocks) are a time-effective way to boost aerobic base training

Host
Adam Pulford has been a CTS Coach for more than 13 years and holds a B.S. in Exercise Physiology. He's participated in and coached hundreds of athletes for endurance events all around the world.
