Hyperpolarized Endurance Training

3 days ago | endurancemastery.substack.com | Matt Fitzgerald

If you’ve been an endurance athlete longer than 5 minutes (or if you’ve ever used a commercial cardio machine), you’re familiar with intensity zones, which divide the spectrum of exercise intensities into separate bands (Zone 1, Zone 2, etc.) that are used to regulate exertion in workouts.
