Thanks!! Wow great job improving your AT! 🙂 Did you improve those 10 beats during the last 6 months or the entire 14 months?
2. Yes not sure how I should think about when and where to put z1 workouts. z2 still feels easy. I guess once you improve and close that gap it naturally makes sense to replace some z2 with z1 work.
3. Yeah I think similarly, the lower the percentage in z3 is the happier I am. Sometimes it’s zero 🙂 Just curious about the details of going just a few beats over your AT what that does. I’m rarely more than 3 bmp above and very rarely more than 5.
I guess a follow-up on 3 is that I feel I could benefit from some stride work to replace faster running, the hr would then go up but just for those 20-30 seconds or so per effort. Would this be a good stimulus to improve running economy? And not hinder my AT progress?
