Fat Burning Hype! Dr. Andy Coggan Inside Exercise Reactions: Zone 2 Training and Fat Oxidation - a podcast by EVOQ.BIKE

Did you hear Andy Coggan on the Inside Exercise podcast? He goes against the grain on Zone 2 training. There is longstanding misconception that you need to oxidize fat to become better at oxidizing fat. "We are good at this without training”.

I'm a huge fan of Zone 2 endurance training, so I'm a bit biased here, but at the same time, I don't agree with everything in the podcast...all roads don't lead to Rome. If you're high intensity days are Sweet Spot, good luck at a road race or criterium or gravel race (more on that in an upcoming episode).

He does not "pull punches" when San Millan's obsession with Zone 2 training comes up.

"The single most important aspect of endurance performance is Muscular metabolic fitness (lactate threshold) vs cardiovascular fitness (vo2max)"

“People think that lab based testing is the gold standard", and that is not true! PERFORMANCE ITSELF IS! Science is not the gold standard.

Definitely give the episode a listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6DhfMJH84E
