Excellent article, thanks for sharing. Do you know of any similar articles about fat-adapted cycling, which I understand as Z1/Z2 efforts that rely more upon fat stores to fuel a ride? The above article states,

"Training may increase the use of muscle fat and the rate of uptake of blood fat for a given exercise intensity, but at high levels of exertion, glycogen remains the fuel of choice. Without glycogen, high-intensity exercise cannot take place."
I'm curious if there's any articles with data about this adaptation?
