Attached is a very nice article by Dennis Sandig. This clearly explains the training philosophy, which I have been following for years and which I also represent in my coaching and the books. I came into contact with it for the first time through Bennie Lindberg, one of the pioneers in this field.

In principle, I see the whole thing exactly as described in the article, only where specific stimuli are set in training can an adaptation take place.
The problem, at least for many athletes in my environment, is rather that they are not in the slightest able to define training areas for themselves, let alone adhere to them.
As a result, training is usually carried out in this “cursed” GA 1/2 area, i.e. too fast for pure GA 1 and too slow for GA 2 / WSA.
If you manage to convey a little more sensitivity here, in my opinion, you have gained a hell of a lot.
That alone would make many of my sports colleagues a huge step forward.
In summary, I am more inclined to recommend the "old" concept to anyone who asks me, in the hope that at least part of the basic area will be completed. And when it is “bolted”, it is short and sweet.
Hi Alex,
ok, so far i have never seen my surroundings train too intensively in winter. Maybe it's because I have to deal with long-term long-distance runners in my training group. The opposite is true here.
Too intense is relatively easy to determine: for LD users, they shouldn't go far beyond your LD competition heart rate. But that alone is decent for most of them. To determine this value, simply look at the heart rate evaluation from the last race.
For everyone else, the value up to which you can easily train is 75-80% of the max pulse. Those who do less than 3 years triathlon prefer to take the lower threshold, more experienced ones can go up to 80%.
Of course it doesn't matter if you go beyond that, our body is not mimosa. Effective units are divided: 1/3 below this threshold, 1 / 3-50% on the threshold and at the end of the unit easy! about that. For many, this is quite exhausting in winter, so stick to a maximum of 3 units a week, the rest can be more relaxed.
greetings
