I don't worry too much about labelling zones - really they don't change that much over time, and when they do it's obvious from general sessions we are doing. Goals are simply the next step forward from where we are now. Can only move one step at a time.
J. ^^^this. 100% perfect. I do have a Powertap admittedly, but it really is used for shits and giggles mapping out local climbs and doing W/kg math in my head to give me the "psychological" I am fit mentality. Never do I do a workout to power. I just ride. I do not run with a HR monitor anymore. 3 paces: base, tempo, hard. I've done ok as an aging AG hack who loves wine and cookies with this program. #DOTHEWORK
Joel your mentality above is so true. Do the work. Do it again. Repeat.
