Subject: Anyone using Carmichael's training philosphy and training zones?I read his time crunched triathlete book, and I am laying out my year of training. I have always used traditional zones based off of LT and max HR (favoring LT, but I have done max HR tests in the lab ), and my zones are pretty much identical. Now this Carmichael book shakes this up a bit, and frankly, not sure if the 8 minute CTS tests are worth doing, and not sure I want to base my training off of this system. Any feedback or experiences? |
