Exercise Physiologist Stephen Seiler discusses indoor cycling training. Best tips for using Zwift and similar online cycling software tools while avoiding too much moderate training. We discuss his 2016 Study on different interval sets and the value of accumulating more minutes of high intensity using slightly lower intensity and the value of a polarized training, the concept of training either easily (below aerobic threshold) or at high intensity (above anaerobic threshold).
