Riding hard indoors doesn\u2019t work either. In this video, Coach Frank Overton (aka BigCat) breaks down how to build a REAL aerobic base on just 4\u20138 hours per week, using the Sweet Spot training methodology he has pioneered for the past 20 years. You\u2019ll learn: 1\ufe0f\u20e3 Where base training actually fits in your annual plan 2\ufe0f\u20e3 Why Zone 2-only training fails when volume is low 3\ufe0f\u20e3 The biggest base-training mistakes cyclists make indoors 4\ufe0f\u20e3 Why Sweet Spot delivers more aerobic gains per minute 5\ufe0f\u20e3 How to measure base fitness using OTS &amp;amp; Level 6\ufe0f\u20e3 What a real month of base training looks like (calendar example) This is the same approach we\u2019ve used for over 20 years to help time-crunched amateur cyclists get stronger, more durable, and faster without burning out. \ud83c\udf81 FREE BASE TRAINING + GIVEAWAY&amp;nbsp; If you listen to the end, you can get \u2705 A full month of base training for free \u2705 A chance to win a FREE YEAR of the CoachCat app How to enter the giveaway: Start a free 30-day trial using the link below Comment \u201cCoachCat\u201d on this video (plus any questions or thoughts) No purchase necessary.
