Understanding Polarized Training vs. Moderate Intensity Training

Polarized training, popularized by Steven Siler, advocates for 80% low intensity and 20% high intensity workouts, emphasizing easy or relatively hard efforts. On the other hand, moderate intensity training focuses on lactate threshold with a heavier volume in the middle zone, aiming for more sustainable progression. The distinction between the two lies in the distribution of effort and intensity in training sessions, offering different approaches to optimizing performance.
