BIG TIP: Stay as cool as possible with indoor structured hard intervals. I have two huge fans. I also drop the thermostat to 67 or 68 degrees. And, do all structured intervals indoors if possible.
In-person podcast is the best! Their outdoor stochastic ride looks like almost all my outdoor rides. I live in the city and there's no way to ride more than 1 mile without stopping, restarting, etc. It's quite challenging to get a long, steady ride when you live in the city.
This is the main reason why TrainerRoad exists. It's actually a joke that the best road to do workouts is called "Trainer Road!" :-D. No stop lights or cars!
I hear you. I have a closed circuit an easy 25-minute ride away where I can do intervals or sustained power. Otherwise if I want to get out of the city to lay down sustained power it's at least an hour commute each way, adding 2h to the ride time.
This might be the best episode yet, this kind of FTP, race prep and planning chat is really informative, excited to see how everything goes in the build up and on race day for Peaks.
for beginner & lightweight riders, i think it is harder to stay in zone specially riding outdoors. small inclines might cause power to spike out of z1-z2 range much easier than the more experienced rider since their z1-z2 is much wider than that of the beginner rider..just my two cents, would like to hear more about this. anyway, love this kind of real athlete calendar analysis! i learned a lot!
OMG, first time in a long time clicking on the video (I usually just listen to the podcasts) and I'm shocked at how goodlooking Nate is. I knew that Jon was a looker, but woah!
I have been following TR training plans for a few months now, Indoor and outdoor. My FTP is increasing and I am happy with the progress. I have found that the suggested red light-green light days don’t seem to reflect my actual fatigue levels, and wonder if I had respected the suggested reduction in training load would my FTP have ended up been lower than it is now.

Hello all. It is not rocket science on how to do endurance. No more than 10% of total ride time in zone 1 and 90% in zone 2. You’ll only see a little in zone 3 if your doing an endurance ride top of zone with intervals @ 75% as you will drift a bit of power into zone 3. My TR calendar is perfect representation of quality training.
Buy some cheap lights or take a donation of some with some fatigued batteries and dump them. Lights are cheap compared to a flight to the other side of the world.
Great episode as usual . As a masters athlete on trainer road exclusively since two rest weeks in October, long time user ,I have been doing weight training on Sunday Thursday . Sunday legs upper body and core ,Thursday just core and upper body . Legs will throw a red day so it’s been good for me just one day a week . I’m seeing improvement weekly . Is there a down side to this . The goal being raise ftp . David Orelli is my user name
Is TR gonna allow all features for those using it on Zwift? Was looking at signing up before but some features such as ai FTP only worked if you did the workouts on TR (I only ever wanna do structured workouts on Zwift and outdoor rides) without recording on TR (I like the Zwift rides showing on Strava) I don't wanna be paying to be a "second class customer" or I wanna pay less 😂
Yes, you can just use Zwift and have your workouts scored, AI FTP Detection, training plans, etc. You can also get those sam features except workout scoring if you just ride outside :-D. Good idea to publish an official list of what's supported if you ride with Zwift.
I’d love you to review my training, JoeX is my TR username. Iron distance triathlete, seven seasons with TR looking for a breakthrough season to get to the next level at 70.3 FoP - (or better) and don’t care what it takes to get there! 😀
Best episode ever. Funny thing i was that guy this year. Now i ride half the volume but all structured and suddenly i get better.
Love to see it!
these are one of the best pod casts we see keep this sort of stuff up
Glad you enjoyed it!

So key! Can't get enough fans.

Glad you liked it, and thank you!
I would love to have a ride summary because I'm often going to look at my heart rate to try to figure out what exactly was accomplished
27:00 yes! Do that feature! :P Shame people on bad behaviour/unstructured workout etc! :P
You could add a duck sound and image on the end of that workout! hahaha and keep that on the calendar view! :D
Powerful statement right there Jon "Meet me where I'm at and step-up from there" @56:55
11:35 pushing workouts to zwift!!! Please do this!!
It's in progress!
Awesome! Waiting for upcoming TR - Chris Miller Crossover🔥🔥🔥

Love to see this analysis. very useful. Question, when is the TrainerRoad push workout to Zwift coming?
Its in progress now, but no ETA yet.
Tr: HammerUK. Been using TR for years and it’s kept me fit but I’ve plateaued in the last few years! As I close in on 60 yrs old is the it for my ftp?

Glad to hear the FTP is increasing! We'll add your account to the candidate list!
For early morning workouts, just drink sugar water and have your breakfast post workout.
Underrated approach!
When did Nate start eating dumbbells?
There's a direct correlation to the growing of the 'stache... 🥸

Or if you could publish an official supported feature list when only using outdoor and zwift rides that would be useful to weigh up

Jonathan can just put a piece of tape over his scale and have it sync to his phone away from him so that he doesn't see it.
Right, but it would be great to get just the rolling average trend delivered in a helpful way.

anthonyjames420 if you could review. But, this being off season I feel it may not look normal as I am lifting, running and doing some light riding.

Hello! JordanDMC pls
Added to the list of candidates!
Why is Jon wearing a sweat suit? Is he doing heat acclimation during the podcast?
Never not marginally gaining 😤
I'd love to have you guys review me. My TR name is the same as my YT username.
Only if we can pretend you're the legend "Jeremiah Bishop" ;)
wow. what happened here. back to the old days huh!!!!
John aka erg mode
🤖
Nate! WTF?! You exploded in muscle mass!! All natural? (it's ok if you're not) Did you discover you're a mesomorph or what?
Jon about to be a guest on the Nero show 😂 @chrismillercycling
