Why it matters (in Poovi’s context)

Fundamental for developing a strong aerobic base, which is crucial for sustained performance in cycling and other endurance sports, especially for those with underdeveloped aerobic engines.

Key properties or components

  • Low-to-moderate intensity
  • Aerobic base development
  • Sustained effort
  • Heart rate monitoring (70-75% max HR)
  • Power meter usage (~70% FTP)

Contradictions or debates

None.
