Endurance Cycling: 65% or 75% FTP? Does The Fatigue Matter? Long Ride vs. Short Ride? Yearly TSS? - a podcast by EVOQ.BIKE

Should we ride easier and have less fatigue? Or ride at the higher end of the zone for more adaptations?



Or are the endurance adaptations the same everywhere within zone 2? What does that do for yearly TSS, and yearly Work (kj’s). Does that matter?



What can you put out week after week, or on back to back weekend rides?



Should endurance be different for a Long ride (4 hours) versus a shorter midweek ride (1.5-2h)



What about cadence manipulations with lower wattages?



The effect on yearly tss and overall work? This seems like a fine balance.



The interesting thing is that we start talking about 5% differences, that’s 20W for me. That’s a big jump! Maybe this has less of an effect for someone with a 250W FTP? But still, a 10% difference is 25W, that’s a lot!
