Since getting the 80/20 book, I’ve started my Week of Slow. For reference, my last non-80/20 workout was a 45 mile gravel bike ride in which my time spent in Z1 and Z2 was an embarrassing 38%. In my defense, my runs prior to then were not terrible. But I am building back up after an injury sidelined me for a few weeks.
Since then, my workouts have been at least 95% Z1/Z2 with the exception of a run the other day that was 93% (had a few hills). After a bunch of runs and a few rides at the new intensity, I’m beginning to understand why I’ve been so inconsistent in my training.
Planning on keeping the ratio in the 90’s while I build my mileage back up. Thanks!
Anyone else do the Week of Slow?
