Well, I am not a coach nor a sport’s scientist, but in my point of view, since what your main target with your endurance training is metabolic adaptation I don’t see reasons for metabolic changes of pace and general perception is the same, I try to use HR only as a guide for training and don’t use thresholds as a fixed thing. HR varies from one day to other depending on things like recovery status, general stress etc. So for me your described training is mainly z2 training time, since as I said before I think your metabolic state remains more or less the same during the whole training.
