THE TRUTH ABOUT THE GREY ZONE

There’s a lot of discussion around the so-called “grey zone” in endurance training.

Our view?

It doesn’t exist.

Every training zone has a purpose.

What we see more often is athletes doing their easy sessions too hard, which then compromises their ability to do the hard sessions hard enough.

The result?

Both sessions drift towards the middle and the benefits of each are reduced.

The problem isn’t the middle.

The problem is losing the purpose of the session.

Know your training zones.

Know the purpose of each session.

Then train accordingly.

Happy training
