Interesting, it’s kind of reversed version of what I always did. I usually start new season with base training – everything in Z1&Z2, then I add 10-15% under AnT, and at the end I change it to training above AnT.

Please read the article. Author intentionally simplified the zone scheme to three zones instead of five, seven, etc. I also explained it above, Z1 – everything under AeT, Z2 – everything between AeT and AnT, Z3 – everything above AnT.
His conclusion about this type of training is: “It has been shown that switching between low-intensity and high-intensity training is better tolerated, less monotonous and protects against overuse.”
Thank you for your response!
I’m definitely happy with my performance but this AeT threshold decrease is disturbing. Now it keeps bugging me that maybe I’m doing something wrong. Especially when I read in your book that regular training under the AeT will increase this treshold, while mine threshold has lowered.
