intensity low on these days, if you've decided that you have lots of time on your hands and the type of training you want to do is primarily
aerobic (vs. interval based training), then performing your endurance efforts at a higher
intensity than Zone 2 will reduce the effectiveness of your harder
workouts on subsequent days by fatiguing muscle and depleting carbohydrate stores in fast - twitch muscle.
In Zone 5, lactic acid builds up quickly, so this
intensity can not be sustained for long periods, but is useful for sustained surges of up to around 5 minutes, as there is still some contribution from

workouts and intervals, especially in beginner athletes.
