Tadej Pogačar aims to ride in Zone 2 for approximately 5 hours when training in flatter regions.

“I I I love riding Zone too um and uh yeah around where I live in mono is uh it's really hard to get big time in zone two because there a lot of climbing and then you have all the downhills you cannot go Z main power so yeah I try to hit really high zone two on on the climbs they are like 20 to 40 minutes long and then uh you recover and downhill but when I go home to Slovenia or somewhere else or in Spain when we training in calpia or somewhere where it's more flat then uh I really like to stay like five hours in zone two”
