Training stories, the science behind Zone 2, and what happens when boring winter work meets a real mountain.
Four grey months on the turbo, heart rate pinned to a single number. Then 9.5 km of Mallorcan switchbacks — and two minutes off my best.
Work, kids, a full life — and no room left to train. Until I started riding slower, slept better, stressed less, and got my weekends back.
The controller holding your heart rate in Zone 2 is the same one holding your espresso machine at 93°C. A coffee nerd's guide, with diagrams.
Pair your trainer, set your zone, and let the app do the thinking. A complete walkthrough of your first Zone 2 session.
