We have been talking about the effectiveness of race pace vs as far as possible per workout,or at least short rest workouts so I thought"Why not a poll?"Note for this poll check all that apply.
Search under "sport training intensity polarization" or the like and several studies pop upthat assert that 75% - 8% - 17% training distribution in zones 1,2 and 3 (slow, lactate threshold, and wide open) are common.

Fascinating article(that I admit I didn't read all of).I'm not sure how applicable it is to shorter more intense races,but it may be agreeing with Rich Abraham"s idea that when you go fast you should go fast and when you go slow you should go slow.)(I believe his quote was something like"the problem with most masters swimmers is that when they go fast they go too slow and when they go slow they go too fast".)
