Method and sources

easy % = 100 × easy minutes / total minutes

Count time in a three-intensity model: easy below your first ventilatory/lactate threshold, moderate between thresholds, hard above the second. A watch five-zone system needs a considered mapping; Z2 is not the same in every system. Research describes distributions, not an exact universal 80% prescription. This calculator combines moderate and hard minutes in the non-easy share. The example is the saved VELOX week 05.10-11.10.2026, rounded to minutes.
