Subsequent to my successful ablation I have decided against tempting fate and pushing my limits. Given my goals of sustainable recreational cycling, Grand Fondo’s, and wine tours and not Masters 65+ TT competitions, I am all about Zone 2 training. My plan is to get 8 to 10 hours of Zone 2 per week. To keep this from getting uninteresting I plan to alternate periods of high cadence/low resistance with periods of low cadence/high resistance.
Question: My understanding of Zone 2 training is that what counts is volume. Whatever else is being done to develop skills, neuro-muscular efficiency, etc. is icing on the cake.
Is it really that straightforward?

Sounds like you already know about Z2 and have a plan. Seems right if you really only want to JRA but staying there is next to impossible if you have hills or are doing any fondos with them, I think if you add some sub threshold work (Coggins Z3 and SS) you might have better results. I find it is extended FTP and Vo2max stuff that gets me in trouble. That’s most of the reason I bought Frontier so I can see those limits.
