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?
In total agreement with you Jimby! :rofl:
When I was an age grouper I let the mercury rise too high at least once a month. I've grown up now, and have no risk of this ever happening again.
I started swimming distance events again once I realized that I don't have to do that anymore. My 1650's didn't usually result in actual vomit when I was younger, but I would push so hard that I was always on the brink.
