I don't train for anything. I just ride for health and fitness, and fun. Most rides are in Zone 2 but I also regularly climb hills and ride singletrack which provides more intensity. It's pretty easy to maintain Zone 2 just by feel without measuring anything. I don't feel a need to measure anything or keep any data.
