The "75 rule" in cycling is a training concept often utilized by endurance coaches and amateur riders to manage physical exertion and recovery pacing during long-distance rides or training blocks. It dictates that approximately 75 percent of a cyclist's weekly training volume should be performed at a comfortable, steady, low-intensity endurance pace (Zone 2), while the remaining 25 percent is reserved for high-intensity intervals, hill repeats, or race-pace efforts. This polarized training distribution maximizes aerobic fitness development while preventing physical burnout and overtraining.
