The zones really are a function of the underlying system that you are referring to . Whether you're talking about a heart rate based training or a power based training . I think of zone five as basically your vo two max training .
What is Peter's approach to Zone five training ? What about other aerobic training protocols ? I love this .
Life is zone one , zone two and zone five . And so by training , zone two and zone five , obviously much more in zone two than zone five , we're really teeing ourselves up metabolically and also structurally to do these things based on what you know , today , what do you wish you would have implemented when it comes to physical conditioning slash training when you were at the age of 25 ? To make the question more general ?
So I don't know the answer because I don't know what that person's limitations are today . So rather I would just say what is the framework and my framework for thinking about this is four components of exercise . One is stability .
You still put in hours and hours a week of aerobic based training . Similarly , if you're training for a one hour all out time trial , you still put in hours a week of low end aerobic based training . But when I stopped doing that , I was like , well , I don't need to do this anymore and I went from cycling to rowing and running and I was sort of obsessed with just being as efficient as possible .
