Calculating a number for the intensity of a workout, how?
Former Member
I am writing my workouts in excel.
How do I calculate a number for the intensity of a swimming workout? Is there a standard way of doing it? I'm using zone 1 to 5, where 1 is recovery and 5 is racepace. Additionally I have three more zones that are lactate tolerance (zone 6), lactate production (zone 7) and power (zone 8). How do I calculate all theese zones and distance into one number, that gives an adequate impression on the intensity of the workout?
I experience the risk of loosing my form when entering my discomfort zone, which by the way takes a great deal of time and concentration to fix. Efficiency, control, and injury prevention are on my mind and hope to push the intensity level, yet maintain form, with time.
