- The Norwegian method of endurance training, also called the Norwegian model of endurance training, is an approach to facilitating physiological adaptations to your cardiovascular system, metabolism, and muscles to support improved aerobic endurance performance.
- **Training is separated into three zones:
- Zone 1 is the low-intensity zone
- Zone 2 is the sub-threshold zone
- and Zone 3 is above your lactate threshold.
- Zone 2 is the target zone for the key workouts, which involves performing intervals at or slightly below your anaerobic threshold or lactate threshold.
- Zone 1 primarily targets the aerobic energy system, also known as the oxidative energy system, because energy is created in the presence of oxygen.
- Zones 2 and 3 both target the anaerobic energy systems.
- allmark characteristic of the Norwegian model of endurance training is using a ^^high-volume, low-intensity approach^^ while prioritizing lactate-guided threshold interval training
