SESSION FOCUS
The focus of this, indoor, basic endurance ride, is to complete an extended duration steady-state bout at a low intensity but with focussed blocks of riding in Z2 including cadence work to help improve your cycling efficiency and build muscular endurance.

Although intervals are zoned and you can use ERG mode on Zwift we recommend you let HR be your guide, keeping it below where applicable your zone 2 HR limit. This is a great session for freeing your mind and enjoying some quality training. From a physiological perspective, these sessions help promote fat oxidation, and structural changes at a muscular level, such as increased mitochondrial content and capillarization riding all at L1 and Z2.
