HR Zone 1 Recovery

60 min at Z1 (60-70% LTHR). Active recovery without training stress.

Training goal

Active recovery day driven by heart rate, not power. 60 minutes at 60-70% LTHR keeps the ride honest when legs are tired or weather is poor.

Training considerations

  • Frequency: After hard sessions, or rest day
  • Best for: all levels
  • Target FTP%: Z1 — stay near the middle of the range; ride the upper end only if you finish the prior block on target.
  • Recovery: Pair with a Z1/Z2 day before and after; do not stack this on consecutive days.
