Every Training Zone Explained (With The Best Training Sessions!)

Get Fast Podcast - Triathlon, Ironman & Cycling Coaching Advice

Throughout the history of our podcast we’ve talk a lot about the different training zones, Zone 2 training, threshold zone, sub threshold, LT1 and LT2.. etc

However it recently came to our attention that we’ve never done ONE episode explaining each training zone and how they differ specifically!

So here is our 1 dedicated podcast episode explaining every training zone in detail, what the purpose of the zone is and when it’s appropriate to do a training session in that zone.
