There are cool down intervals in the cycling workouts of our new plans. The only workouts where you won’t see a dedicated cool down is the easy rides where you are in zone 1 and zone 2 throughout so don’t need extended time to bring the HR down to cool down before ending the workout.
Which plan are you following?
I’m sorry but what you’re saying is incorrect. None of the workouts within the new cycling plan “80/20 Cycling: Gran Fondo – 120km to 160km – Level 1 Power-based Zwift Compatible” have cool downs.
Leyla’s right. Except for Fast Finish Rides, there are no 80/20 cycling workouts that end at moderate or high intensity. Now, it is true that Zone 2-focused rides such as Easy Rides and Endurance rides don’t step down to Zone 1 at the end. This is simply because it serves no physiological purpose to do so.
You misread what I wrote. Fast Finish Rides are called Fast Finish Rides because they finish fast, i.e., they have no cooldown. These, however, are the ONLY 80/20 cycling workouts that END at or above Zone X.
