New to Power
I weigh 140lbs currently and if I want to achieve 300w for 2 hours, does that mean I need to work on high cadence (aerobic) or slow cadence (muscle)?

It depends on you.
Do some tests and find out where your strengths and weakness currently are. From there you can develop a plan.

Work on finding better parents. Without proper genetics your odds of achieving 4.7 W/kg for 2 hours are practically nil.

What's your best 20 min power and how much are you currently riding/wk. That will provide some indication of the feasibility of your goal. If you are already riding 15-20 hrs/week and your 20 min power is much under 300W you'll likely have a tough time getting your 2 hr power to 300.
