It occurred to me that some of the target audience of this blog do not know much about the structure of endurance based workouts. In an effort to create a common reference point, this post is all about the language and terms used to describe these workouts. First off are the training zones. These are used in relation to heart rate as well as watts on the bike and pace on the run.
| Pace Type | Heart Rate | Perceived Exertion |
| Easy/Long Pace | Z1 | Easy |
| Marathon Pace | Z2 | Steady |

| Repetition Pace | Strides | Speed Focus |
