What a guy! Incredibly articulate in a second language. Combines ruthless focus, tenacity and intelligence. I’d love to see him win another monument. It’ll be when we’re not expecting it but stand up guy.

Mohoric is one of the best interviews in cycling. This clip is outstanding.

He is way too intelligent for this sport

hearing the thought processes and amount of strategic thinking and self understanding is, while not unexpected, still amazing. Thats what it takes to be at the top - you can hear similar from F1 drivers

Priceless insight and wisdom. Majoric is one of probably my top 5 favorite riders of all time and I've been riding/racing/watching races for 35 yrs!

What an incredible guy Mohoric is. Another great interview.

I'm going to start doing vo2 max intervals like this. Maybe 5 x 5, 40/20's with 3 minutes easy between sets. 40s @ 130%.

I think 40s @130% is too high, maybe you could do 30/30s @130%?

I hope he smashes Olympic Gold and a Tdf stage win. It all went wrong for him this spring😢

Matej is such great guy.... real warrior

I always thought about it like stretching a sweater out. You don’t stretch the whole thing in one go, you stretch out each arm then the body then the width.

what does it mean all out? vo2 max pace?

There are things like winning intervals, yeah, but the framing in the titlw is missleading

One of my favorite riders!

Very interesting guy 😮☝️

i don't feel i agree about the training idea. the notion of training lactate clearance is shaky from what i can tell. lactate is not the enemy, so much so that the body is happy to allow the liver to make it when we eat a lot of carbs. adaptations from training are complex. clearing lactate may improve as a result of other changes going on, and there are times when short efforts are good, other times when long efforts are required. context is king. great interview though!

Correct. When we listen to training tips from pro riders is fundamental to keep in mind that they have a superior engine and genetic to cope with training. Applying pro riders rules to the average cyclist is out of sense

Recycling lactate is the most important thing for the pro riders.

All he's describing is periodisation - this isnt ground breaking. Start very long and slow + very short and fast .... and over the season gradually work towards the middle from both ends.

@C22RLD

And periodisation only works to about 6-8 weeks before you max out, which many amateurs don’t need. They want season long fitness across multiple distances and challenges hence z3/4 work. If you’re targeting a specific goal event then yes periodise

Pure chess game.

How does Z3 work for training, then? Pushing high Z3 for hours on end seems like it would build up both muscular endurance epic glycogen stores.

I guess it is needed to know how it feels and be able to feed while you are doing it but other than that it's not the best way to train it. Sprinting is the same. You train the different components individually and before practicing combining them.

Maybe the intervals at competition speed (that might be treshold, or maybe faster or slower)? Frida Karlson is the best 50 km skier. She told that she did three 45 minute intervals at competition speed (50 km skiing she probably does at ca 2 or 2,5 hours). Competition speed is different in different sports and distanses. In cykling there are several competitionspeeds, it is transport speed, breakawayspeed, long and short climb speed, sprint. My guess is that for bikers its good to do very different intervals, both in speed and duration.

VO2max intervals. Like the 30s/15s-intervals Mohoric talks about. Search for Ronnestad to learn more about it

milage days with jump sprint days in between are better

And then there are pills and drugs, right? How are those alheimers one😅😅😅

do what?

His ten minute intervals are not just a full effort 10 minute time trail at AT threshold. His ten minutes involve a variety of efforts that mimic full efforts at races without killing him physically and mentally. He seems focused on clearing lactate and minimizing fatigue with breaks during the efforts, it's nothing new. 30-30 style some days, other longer for aerobic capacity. It seems about going hard in a smart sustainable way, not just going flat out. Others might chime in with a better/shorter explanation.

Basically have short and steep ramps with short rest for 10 minutes - (power profile like a shark's dorsal fin) - what you're training isn't actually the steady state power but your body's ability to flush lactic acid more efficiently. The spikes teach your body how to flush better without being a mind numbingly tough workout.

I was confused because to my understanding, threshold intervals should feel like 6-7/10, not all out. Thanks guys

As a research methodologist there is zero evidence that this method works zero. Another example of this is altitude training which at best has mixed results and may actually do no good at all due the fact that at altitude one cannot train as hard. Athletes are notorious believers in arcane methods. One athlete Greg Lemond had wonderful help with this and to this day the book he created is largely followed by the peloton as a proven method

No idea what a research methodologist is ... sounds like an appeal authority to me. Anyway, Dylan Johnson quotes plenty of scientific evidence to support Mohoric's approach, even in athletes only training 5-7 hours a week: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fKlnr8WjnLbVcco.html So not sure when you became the definitive source of whether there is or isn't evidence of whether this works or not
