I Thought Zone 1 Rides Were Pointless... I Was Wrong

In this video, I talk about why I’ve started adding Zone 1 recovery rides into my training and the difference they’ve made to how quickly I recover. I used to think that if I was getting on the bike, I needed to actually train. But I’m starting to realise that sometimes going ridiculously easy can actually help me get ready for the next hard session. With work, family life, 5 kids and Zwift training to balance, recovery is becoming just as important to me as the hard sessions. I’ll talk about how Zone 1 rides have been working for me, how easy I actually ride, and why I think they’re going to stay in my training. If you’re trying to balance cycling with a busy life, hopefully you’ll find this useful! 👍 Like the video if you enjoyed it 💬 Do you use recovery rides, or do you prefer complete rest?
