Opplevd Anstrengelse
4/10Noe anstrengende

Upper zone 2 provides stronger aerobic stimulus than regular zone 2. The intensity sits near LT1, where fat oxidation peaks and aerobic enzymes are maximally stimulated. You feel it working more than a regular easy ride, but you should still have full control. This session delivers a lot of aerobic development in a short time.

Våre tips for denne økten

  • 1.This session is harder than regular zone 2. Stay in the upper part of the zone, but never cross into zone 3.
  • 2.Watch your heart rate — it should stabilize after 10–15 minutes. If it keeps rising, the intensity is too high.
  • 3.Short and effective for busy weekdays. 45 minutes of good quality beats 90 minutes of half-hearted effort.
