If we train, we adapt and improve. Unless if we overtrain and achieve failing adaptation.
If we train at 50% effort, we will improve and get faster even while keeping it at 50%.
The same is probably true up to 80% effort. At >80% we get into anaerobic limits and more as we head to 100% efforts. A large amount of training at > 80% probably gets us to failing adaptation.
Do we train at levels too high to keep up with others? No pain no gain thinking?
Having backed down my training effort while improving and enjoying it even more I wonder where I went wrong? And would training at 50% be better than training at 70%?
