52, riding 6 - 8 hrs of zone 2 a week for quite a few years. I had my first full cardio exam ever a few weeks back. Zero signs of calcification, cholesterol is in the sweet spot, and progressively getting better both on and off the bike. Thanks for the tips coach!
fantastic stuff! I feel watched 😂 Have been overtraining both running and riding in the past weeks literally to escape the stress and pressure that have built up lately. Let’s see if I find courage to do some actual problem solving tomorrow instead of a mountain pass attack
I can totally agree with your strategy coach. Learning to accept and understand my brain/body fatigue which results in me doing less but actually im able to do more overall. I started off going full gas to recover from my accident. Quickly found out that i spent more time recovering. Im not just volvo proof,im bullet proof 👌💪😂
It's hilly where i live. I can't stay in zone 2 because i'm really out if shape, and even a 34/34 gear moves my hr out of zone 2. So z2 is for the trainer.
I find Zone 2 really hard. I always get of to a good start, and then a bunch of roady's pass me, and it is so hard not to hook on. And I usually end up doing some sort of Threshold ride. It is just so nice to go fast. -- Having a buddy to ride with you is I guess a good way of keeping the pass down a bit. The hills are not a problem here n the Dutch Coastline :) the wind is a bit sometimes ;)
Up the carbs, don’t obsess over protein, and reduce your fat intake to less than 20g per day. You will lose weight without even trying, recover much better, and have all the energy on and off the bike to catch up with all the matters in your life.
Probably it' a bad idea to assume most of us have poor diets. Is that a common assumption for cyclists now? Lets assume that lots of us are older than you are and have some degree of grey hair. Don't you suppose we've learned quite a lot over time about nutrition, exercise, and discipline? I personally put a lot of stock into going on what I had for a full and proper dinner the night before, and not touching a bite until after the ride or the run, then having a full breakfast sparing nothing for meat, dairy, grain, and fruit. If I'm on the bike for an hour or 75 minutes or so, I'm fine for the whole time.
@@derekjolly3680 I would argue that most people do have poor diets. It’s actually pretty difficult to correctly eat the amount of carbs, protein, and fat necessary for recovery consistently, especially if you have to always make your own food every day. Human nature dictates that there are days you probably do not have time, or the drive, to do that part of the work. Unless you think everyone is highly disciplined, I would have to agree that most people don’t have the appropriate diet.
I think you're delving into worrying about exact numbers and amounts for things. I've never seen that as necessary at all nor the only means to have a very healthy diet very suitable for whatever solid exercise you care to engage in. Personally I've never counted things like calories or amounts. I think that that borders on neurosis. You don't have to do that to be quite aware of nutrition and how you're eating/cooking. You do have to eat things you like, and make meals you like. That's a huge part of it. You just have to have good habits and strive to eat heathy things, which you wind up over time training yourself to like. You may however be right about "most people", otherwise we wouldn't be looking at so many pathetic obese bastards especially here in America.
get a remote microphone pinned to your shirt close to your neck. That way, you have even output of audio all throughout the video. Examine this video, different scene, different audio level. I had to adjust my own volume from time to time because of this microphone issue of yours.
Please filter your language... there may be a lot of children listening. It does not improve your comments. It shows disrespect to those who feel it is a foul ball in the sport. Great content in how to improve young and old by motivational speak. Keep the rubberside down. Thanks for keeping older people in mind too. From Canada Eh!!

New Bike Day!
There are a handful of gravel bikes out there with a .75 final drive ratio and a bunch with around .85.
See if you can drop the front chainring to 46/30. There's even options on eBay for 5x 110BCD arms (and very well made they are too!).

Brilliant!
I am subscribed and I also trust CZcams algorithm
Are you still doing BFR training?
Back in the days when I'd wake up for race day and take my pulse, if it was 50 I'd have a bad day, 42 watch out 😅
I'm definitely guilty with those extra miles for Strava kudos..Aren't we all? 🙃
Wow. I feel like you're talking just to me, coach.
What about : I’m hooked on cycling
2:24 😂
I haven found for myself. Once I reach around 85% max heart, give or a take.
Nothing else in the world matters.
It's giving me a headache
This could only be pulled off in a Scottish accent 😂

Don't you just hate it when someone puts together loads of informative free content.
