Interesting. However, what intensity zone is the zone you should "avoid" in terms of HR max? I can run one hour at 93% of hr max... Where is my lactate treshold? If I run at 90% of hr max, I run at something like half marathoin pace, which is the pace you should avoid?
So, the question is? What zone, in terms of hr max, should you avoid? Is it 80-85%? Or 80-88%? Or 82-87%. Or 78-89%?
This is not new, but it clearly shows that the people who say increase your easy pace are wrong. If I would run the pace Daniels recommend I would run all my easy miles in the wrong zone.
The zone that you should avoid is dependent upon two factors: 1) your level of fitness ... if you are not very fit your LT zone will will be a lower % of Max, so it might mean anything from 80% - 90%; 2) I have watched this video several times and the bulk of the research deals with endurance events that have a large strength component i.e. cross country skiing, cycling and rowing. I assume in these power/endurance events that the athletes have more Fast Twitch muscle fibres than, say, elite marathon runners, hence they have poor lactate management. It is for these type of athletes, I believe, that the polarized model works best and the athlete has better results when minimizing training in the 85% to 90% heart rate range.

According to some guy that no one has heard of?
I am watching the talk right now (thanks for the link OP)and he is talking about many other sports as well as distance running, including rowing and cross country skiing. I thought that Daniels talked about avoiding "quality junk" training as well.
When it comes to distance running Lydiard, Berardelli, Canova, Lagat, Coe, Ron Clarke have all talked about running at "strong" paces. Canova has mentioned that besides being used as a tool for pure recovery, there is a problem with running too easily as you are going too far away from the biomechanics of race pace.
I guess that the "below lactate threshold intensity" that the talker is mentioning is still a huge spectrum of paces for a highly trained distance runner.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
