Hello,
i have a question… how much time in Zone 1 (Recovery <55% FTP) do you find is wasted time?
Here are my totals of 2021 till now, and i find i spend a lot of time in Zone 1 (by an average of 8,6 hours a week).
But this is not because I’m explicit doing Recovery Rides. This is time from rest and recovery between intervals and maybe easy pedalling in warmups befor races. And of course riding downhill with no pedaling.
I’m finding 30% of my riding time is very very much! Do you think someone should try to do at least were it’s possible to ride above 55% FTP in Endurance Zone 2 let’s say at 60% FTP so you’re not “wasting” as much time in Zone 1?
What are your Zone 1 Times?
Would be of interest for me
Thanks.
