Building on my recent articles on interval training as well as intensity allocation. LINKS. Effective Interval Training: feelthebyrn.su.... Allocating Intensity: feelthebyrn.su...
Thanks, Gordo. Looking at this table again, I wonder whether 60-90' for Zone 3 isn't a bit too short of a duration. Wouldn't this mean that a marathon should mostly be in Zone 2? If so, I would find it a bit restrictive, and not aligned with my experience. Perhaps I am missing something, so I please feel free to correct me where I am wrong.
You'll be able to train it up, for sure. I got mine close to 4 hours as an elite. My lactate curve was a "flat profile" - so I had a wide Green Zone and a wide gap between LT1 & LT2. As for where the marathon falls - for most athletes, looking at velocity, it will be Green Zone If we look at heart rate then it will appear to be a higher zone. G
Thanks Gordo ✌️👌
Nice video. Very interesting. Going to read the whole articles! Huge Thanks!
Glad it was helpful.
