Training zones are one of the most talked about parts of endurance training, but how do you YOU get your zones? Do you use percentages of a generic equation like 220-age? Have you maybe followed the MAF method? Even better do you go for physiological testing to measure and pinpoint your training zones?
Luke and Nick breakdown the most common ways of getting training zones and the key points when looking at which path is best for you.

A great question came through about VO2 interval training. When you're pushing yourself to the absolute limit in an interval, should you continue to push through even if your pace is dropping to get the quantity done? Or should we cut the effort short and go for quality in the session?
Luke and Nick discuss how to make the most of VO2 interval sessions AND why quality is king!
We also get into a little bit on how physiology during High Intensity Training helps to prevent athletes from putting on "unwanted size" in the gym. Nick has an AWESOME summary of this process over on his Youtube Channel, watch here:
