Terenzo bozzone’s training is on strava too and is kinda interesting. No massive miles by the look of it and rarely rides 5 hours or more.

An example though is Bluumenfelt who's on Strava. Most of his runs are about 4:45min/km or up to 5:30/km when he feels fatigued. This guy is running a 1:06 hm in 70.3! The equivalent for an age grouper is way slower obviously........."yeah, I swear this is easy" while running with 150 hr and breathing through the mouth like a horse.
I like this bc it points out that the average Ag athlete runs (and I'd argue rides) too hard/too many intervals to often to really maximize their ability to improve

I agree. But there are also examples of ag who are quite successful with low volume, high quality, so a lot of intervals. I wouldn't be one of them. So yeah.. Still individual. But in general I guess that a lot of ag wouldn't believe how easy really means when it says so in a plan

Of course he's doing massive volume though.
What's most important though is finding out works for you personally. I think that pros have this key advantage over age groupers, they have figured out what works for them. For some, like Cameron Wurf, it seems to be lot of intensity. For Bluumenfelt it's rather polarized. For Weiss as well. Probably no silver bullet to be found apart from the fact that it is individual
Not sure why you replied to me when I asked a specific question of ajthomas that only he can answer.

Even more interesting that Weiss is doing polarised training but his volume is not massive. 4hrs/week. That's easily within reach for any Ag athlete.
Think it's more than 4hrs/week ;) but yes. It's not really polarized though. The easy side I guess yes but the other side is not just very hard as it would be in a polarized model. There is a lot of comfortable hard, race pace or threshold there it seems
