Marius Bakken and his norwegian model did not run fast on the easy. He tried to stay below 70% of max HR. I guess the Ingebrigstens are not using HR that much and try to limit pace. A team mate of them does not use HR and just run on feel. I also like that because easy feel will on heavy days give a lower pace and faster pace on good days.
I had once a look at Kristoffer Ingebrigtsen training. He seems to use and train with %vVO2max.
On easy days he goes at 65%vVO2max, which is around 70% HRmax for him.
Zone 3 is useless. Daniels even states 75-79% as “no man’s land,” which is the upper end of zone 3. Yet most America runners let their “easy” runs get right there. Then they wonder why they’re rarely recovered for the zone 4 training. Or they simply don’t do enough volume in zone 4.
In the Norwegian zone model, zone 2 is from 72-82 %HRmax, which is around 1.5 - 2.5 mmol, maybe this is really a dead area. Interestingly this is the area from around 70-80%HRR (heart rate reserve).

Kristoffer seems to have his own simple plan. He has (been) held back for a long time to not get injured and have workouts a tad slower than his HM pace (3.40-3.35 on 1k/2k/3k reps). His easy pace has seemed to be 60s slower. It does not seem HR is used
They got a hell of a chemist on their team. Props to that guy. Deserves all the credit in the world but will most likely remain in the shadows for a long time.
Please Oozma. Not you. I enjoy your posts but this is the lowest of all trolling.
