Your coach scales a pro session to your FTP, your hours and your week.
Brandon McNulty reportedly rides 3 × 60 min at 310–320 W, about 75% of his FTP, with lactate held around 1.5–1.8 mmol/L. That’s high Zone 2, on purpose: a big aerobic dose that challenges oxidative metabolism and trains durability, at a lower recovery cost than VO₂max work.
It isn’t the gray zone. Gray zone is an easy ride drifting up by accident. This session has a target, a time and easy gaps.
You don’t need four hours. On a weeknight, 3 × 20 or 2 × 30. On a weekend morning, 2 × 45. Save the full 3 × 60 for a training-camp long ride or a big winter weekend. Take about 75% of your FTP and the time you actually have.
Ask for The Next Session.

What's your real-world version: 3 × 20 on a weeknight, or the full 3 × 60 at camp?
