The thing is that all my running workouts are threshold workouts

I either walk quickly in zone 1 or jog slowly in zone 4, I probably need to train more to make the middle zones possible.

@@ljadf even race walkers do intervals in z4. They often run for their hardest stuff. But you can certainly find a way to play in z2 and 3.

I know this would have been filmed weeks ago, but it is amusing that the very first video after the one where it was announced "unfortunately...you won't see [Heather] on the channel for a little while" (and btw, congrats!) is a video hosted by Heather 😅

haha... good to know... I for a moment thought she was eating to many Gels :)

I did the same threshold-workout as Gustav I have on a video. For sure not in high elevation and not even uphill for 22 km . It was one of the toughest I done, big workout. 3x10 min 4x5 min 5x3 min 5x1 min everything in threshold. Gustav didn’t say how long rest between but I did like in bicycling, rested 5 min jogging between the 10m, 2:30 between the 5 min , 1 min between 3 m and 1 min between 1 min. I planning to do 3- min x (?) . I will not do IM this season (done 10 ) I will do Olympic distance and middle distance so want to find some speed which is not easy. Actually I think I need to do like 10x200 over threshold to be faster. But I’m not so young any longer so little afraid to be wounded. As always nice to watch GTN videos Congratulations to Heather for having your child. Enjoy as much as possible.

I use different HR zone model (7 zones) which includes sub-threshold and superthreshold. That works better with running power zones (Steve Palladino's 10 zone model, which is kind of extended Jim Vance's 7 zone model). I mainly train with running power (converted to it some years ago) and HR is my secondary metric (pace matters only during race). Having two thresholds (HR and rFTP) + RPE is a good way to tell whether zone models (and thresholds) are valid. Otherwise, it could be running to just random numbers. Threshold and sub-threshold runs can be fun until they become a torture (today had to do 2x30'@sub-threshold, opposite of fun 😂) but indeed they help improving in certain areas and exercise mental side of running.

Using Garmin coach to plan workouts. In the beginning "Easy runs" at around 20 minutes of work would result in my heart rate getting inte zone 4, with 80% being upper part of zone 3 Took about 2 weeks for the coach to take in the feedback and my body to start to adapt to 3 "easy" runs But those 2 weeks were very close to only being threshold runs 😂

Where you a beginner runner?

I tend to run most days around Z2 pace and then do a 5km Park Run that always ends up being (a) a personal race (b) drifts into at least half of it (15mins) at Threshold. However this is not in phases with jogging breaks. I tend to end the race in a threshold state (known in the trade as “knackered”). Is this OK or should it be a more structured experience?

I love threshold workouts. Generally do around 4-5 reps of 3 min each with 90 sec recovery. It really adds up in the long run.

If 3min of threshold with 90 seconds off for 4-5 reps is even slightly taxing, you're not running at threshold. A straight 15min of threshold should be quite easy. With intervals like that, you should be able to do them for 2hrs

@@veganpotterthevegan A completely unnecessary comment. How can you state this with no information about his HR, pace and other data? Every runners stamina, endurance and experience level differs, thus it is natural that each of us will have different thresholds.

@emo487576 and I never said that everyone doesn't have different thresholds. It's just that they're not running at threshold if that workout isn't very easy. They're running well above it for the 3min intervals if that's a difficult workout.

@@veganpotterthevegan @emo497576, No need to fight people, I am a beginner runner, only ever ran upto a half marathon. My average easy pace is between 7:00/km to 8:00/km. When i do steady runs, i try to remain at the top end of zone 3 which is around 6:15 to 6:30/Km. Anything above that is not sustainable effort for me. My 5k PB was at 5:43/Km and it was hardddd. When i do threshold intervals, i try to elevate my HR to zone 4 as fast as possible and stay there for the duration of the interval. These days, for the short intervals that i am doing, i need to run around 4:30/Km to achieve that. The reason i go that fast is to not let my heart rate plummet to zone 2 during recovery. In short, intervals in zone 4 and recovery in zone 3. The max heart rate in the threshold intervals is always around 172-175 (My max being 196). When i do longer threshold intervals or steady runs, i plan my efforts accordingly. I hope that clarifies it. Oh also, maybe this kind of workout is called something else. My garmin calls it threshold intervals.

7 x 4 min at threshold pace is one I get chucked at me occasionally.

Subtle important question: I employ two or three zone 4 efforts per week balanced against one or two Z5 (&6) sessions. Yes, I do double hard sessions. My study has led me to believe staying at the low end of ranges in zones (threshold) yields ample benefit while minimizing metabolic stress (Cortisol) with faster recovery. Do you have a counter hypothesis?

I thought zone 2 would lead to pb

Zone 2 is great for building an aerobic base and is where most of training will be done. Less strain and stress means you can do a lot more zone 2 training. But your body still needs to be accustomed to hard training as well, just less often. She recommends doing this once per week in the video which makes sense. You'd need a day or two to fully recover and risk of injury goes up if you did hard training too often.
