start with 15min Z1 and then you do 3×45″ as fast as possible rest 45″ Z1 and then you continue with Z. Total training must be the time that was given. Example: if you have 90’Z1A then your total training including the intervals must be 90min

I will try to explain it in away that everybody can understand, if not please ask me when I am in Malta.
This is the cross-over between the aerobic and anaerobic systems. An all out sprint, which requires a great deal of power output in a short period of time, uses the anaerobic system. The energy is quickly available, but the anaerobic pathways are not very efficient ; short-term energy stores are rapidly depleted, lactic acid builds up, and exercise soon comes to stop. Distance running, which requires a steady power output over a long period of time, uses the aerobic system. These pathways can’t generate the speed of the anaerobic, but they do possess a great deal more efficiency and endurance
