As an older “athlete” my goals and vision of fitness are ever evolving but the trend is to think about it as a long term project with less focus on specific events or outcomes. Racing is becoming more intermittent while the desire to adventure increases. To answer your questions - Fitness to me is a never ending alchemy of a. performance as a blend of watts per kg, robustness and repeatability b. mid to long term health (body weight/wellness etc.) and c. being a capable human beyond the bike in other outdoor activities (running, ski touring, building things, landscaping etc.)...

- It's functional for me really, ie I'm capable of doing a big hike type walk, or a full day riding up and down a hill, and I can enjoy it. - Its a suprise to me that people riding MTB casually are thinking about training zones, but I suppose there are likely to be alot of racers here! With how much I can ride, I don't think about it at all. - 3-4 times a week riding and then 1-2 times a week strength training, on a good week. Often motivation slips for the strength training and it doesn't...

Thank you very much, if that is the bad thing, it would be nice if once you paid you had access to it for life... on Monday I will start the training and see how everything goes, since now I already have information :D

Thanks, Todd! But what we really want to know is what's Gwin riding this season? My son loves working with Addison. Great stuff happening with that program around here. Hope you get down to our neck of the woods before too long.

It looks good, I will look at it, the conclusion would be either to do a training with everything learned or hire an online service from a trainer, that is the truth....
