[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is a pzp challenge and who is Angie? I’ve had my bike fir less than a month.[/quote] Power Zone is one method of training. Peloton has a lot of Power Zone classes (PZ) and a Discover your Zones program to introduce people to the concept, classes, and instructors. It is a great way to get in shape because the classes have specific zones (1-7) that you work in for different periods of time in order to improve as an athlete. It is really a great program. I loved it when I first started because it removes the leader board from the picture, you train based on your zones. The instructors rarely call out resistance or cadence cues but zone cues. If an instructor calls out zone and makes a cadence suggestion, they are focusing on improving a specific area. So cadence of 60 would mean they are working on leg strength, cadence of 90 would be more cardio vascular. PZP is a facebook group, the Power Zone Pack, who is run by Angie. It is a large group that focuses on Power Zone classes and training. There is a lot of good info there and lots of good advice. Angie also puts together power zone challenges. They are 6-8 week long programs. You sign up and are assigned a team. You can choose 3,4, or 5 rides a week. Each week, she puts out a schedule of rides that are meant to get progressively more difficult in order to help people grow. There are normally 2 rides that are 45 minutes long and one 60 minute long ride. each ride you complete earns points for your team. Some teams are super competitive and some teams barely have people finishing the assigned number of rides. Each team has its own vibe. Each team has its own FB page where people post graphs of their rides and chat with one another. The Teams are what make the challenge awesome. I have met a lot of good people to ride with on my teams. One of the downsides to the challenge is that Angie really likes Matt and most of the rides are Matt rides, so you had better like Matt or be on a team that doesn't care about scoring. The challenges can be pretty awesome but people burn out on them. They do a great job of providing structure and accountability and are pretty great for the camaraderie. Angie is a savvy business woman who is making money off of subscriptions to her website (you can unlock more advanced metrics), setting up a coaching team that she gets a percentage of, and selling gear. Nothing wrong with any of that. [/quote]
