Dr. Stephen Seiler explains the endurance training zones schemes he uses in research (3 zones) and in practice working with Norwegian coaches and athletes (5 zones) as part of the Norwegian Olympic Federation model.

Training zones can have tremendous value. They provide guidance for training and a means of communicating with your coach or teammates. Are there flaws?
