5 min read

Reviewed Sep 7, 2026

Zones are dosage tools. Session intent comes first.

Practical zone model

Moderate work builds sustainable output
High intensity sharpens race-specific ceiling

Weekly sequencing

Protect one key quality day, support with aerobic volume, and place recovery intentionally. The right week is repeatable, not heroic.
