Percentage of your weekly hours to Z2 or other intensities?

No it’s saying

  1. Build up your frequency / volume of training
  2. Add very hard sessions into the mix,
  3. Have an intensity distribution where vast majority of sessions are easy. The rest very hard, avoid the middle ground.

Pareto is about prioritising that which gets you the majority of your return. The most bang for your buck. It’s a precept rather than a mathematical law.

It’s a case of diminishing returns, and adding in complexity on top is also a case of rapidly diminishing returns.
