The Run Down: Separating Grey Zone, Zone 3, and Junk Miles in Running
Description

πββοΈ Runners, have you heard of the difference between Grey Zone, Zone 3, and Junk Miles? If not, you could be doing more harm than good to your training and performance!
πͺ Grey zone training is pushing too hard without the right intensity and can lead to fatigue, injury, and plateau. On the other hand, Zone 3 is the ideal low-dose strength and stamina-building zone.
π² But beware, zone 3 can quickly turn into grey zone if you push the pace too hard. That's why it's important to find your thresholds (pace, power, heart rate) and set your training zones.
π» My simple three-step process for setting your running thresholds:
1οΈβ£ Get a baseline measurement of your running performance with a 30min TT.
2οΈβ£ Determine your threshold levels based on your average pace/power/HR of the last 20min of your 30min baseline measurement.
3οΈβ£ Create training zones based on your thresholds. https://link.drwillo.com/calculators
