Winter Base Training vs Fat Loss: Why Long Rides Alone Won’t Get You Lean

Hey

Most cyclists think long, low-intensity winter rides will melt fat, but research and real-world coaching show the opposite.

In this week's The Climb newsletter, I break down why Zone 2 alone falls short, why challenges like the Rapha 500 can actually stall your progress, and what a smarter winter training plan looks like if you want real fat loss and better performance heading into spring.

Have a great weekend
