...the Training Secrets Behind the Norwegians’ Phenomenal Ironman Debuts…

Danke, das ist ja sehr viel Einsicht in seine Trainingszonen!

The training zone distributions are set by Strava’s algorithm, but for Iden they worked out to be:

Active Recovery (>4:00/km ...)
Endurance (3:26-4:00/km ...)
Tempo (3:05-3:26/km ...)
Threshold (2:53-3:05/km ...)
VO2max (2:43-2:53/km ...)
Fast (<2:43/km ...)
That means that Iden’s Ironman pace was ~3:40/km or 5:53 min/mile pace, which falls in his training Zone 2. And most of his runs in Zone 1 were at ~4:30/km or 7:16 min/mile pace (approximately 80% of his Ironman pace). According to Couzens, Iden’s best recent 5K (that can be found online) is 14:07 (~2:49/km or ~4:30 min/mile pace), i.e. smack bang in his VO2max zone as we’d expect

Wow.
