Over the last decade I have often thought that we need to find a better way to define training zones. I have assessed every model under the sun and even tried to create some new ones. From a metabolic perspective, three-zone models probably make the most sense, because physiological anchors form the transition points,
Threshold Versus VO2max Training: Are We Asking the Right Question? (opens the original)

First build an aerobic base, lots of easy endurance training. Then add “threshold” training in the middle of the summer. Then, as we move int
