Training Zone Model
- Use a simple, scientifically-backed training zone model like the one by Mark Burnley.
- This model categorizes training zones based on physiological markers like VT1 and VT2.
Tri-Zonal Model
- Tri-zonal models (Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3) are commonly used for season planning in pro cycling.
- These models simplify analysis by grouping multiple power zones into three broader intensity domains.
Polarized vs. Pyramidal
- Polarized and pyramidal training models are common, both emphasizing Zone 1 (low intensity).
- Pyramidal models include more Zone 2 (moderate) work, potentially benefiting sustained power and durability.
