Volume vs. intensity: The eternal debate in exercise physiology. The importance of finding the balance between training stress and the adaptations that occur during recovery in order to reap the benefits of your training.
In this podcast, we discuss which zones are used to divide training intensities, and which parameters work best to separate them. Lactate, heart rate, rate of perceived exertion, talk test – what should you choose? We also examine which training methods science shows give the best results, and whether these can be used by all athletes.
There's also a lot of hype around training in zone 2, but why does it make sense that the majority of your training should be in this zone and not just at a brisk pace?
Finally, we look at overtraining and how to avoid this during your training.
