Polarized training – Yellow zone

Purpose:	Increase lactate threshold and maximum oxygen uptake, maintain learned technique at higher tempi and greater fatigue. Also see the Explanation of zone training.
Duration:	30 to 45 minutes
Interval:	10 – 20 minutes
Peace:	5 minutes
Intensity:	45% – 55% Read more about Power percentages.
To talk:	Sentence: elaborate explanations no longer works, but a single sentence still works.
Heartbeat:	80% – 90% of the HFres. Read more about Heart rate reserve.
Lactate:	2 – 4mmol
Phase:	Preparation period, start of competition season

Legend: '=minutes, "=seconds, S=strokes, F=force (pressure), R=stroke rate, P=Power, Rr=race rate, Rr-x=x below race rate, →=followed by, ()=repeat

yellow1:	30' P45%
yellow2:	30' P50%
yellow3:	2x (20' P55% → 5' rest)
yellow4:	2x (15' R28 → 5' rest)
yellow5:	3x (10' R28 → 5' rest)
yellow6:	3x (10' R30 → 5' rest)
yellow7:	30' (2' R26 → 2' R28)
yellow8:	2x 19' ( (4' R24 → 3' R26 → 2' R28 → 1' R30 → 2' R28 → 3' R26) → 5' rest)
