* The lactate levels are typically below 4.0 mmol/l, with some using 2.5 or 3.5 depending on the session.
* The bulk of the distance is performed at Long Slow Distance pace, or as Google translated it, "Calm long ride", which I rather like.
* They train every day, with the typical weekly pattern M:2xLSD, T:2xMIHVI, W:2xLSD, T:2xMIHVI, F:2xLSD, Sa:Hills/LSD, Su:1xLSD. Some runners will do "threshold runs", but these seem to be quite a bit slower than what would be considered threshold or tempo pace, typically marathon pace or slower, and their lactate levels are <2.0 mmol/l.
None of the training details I could find showed the athletes performing any Tempo or Threshold runs, only Long Slow Distance (LSD) or interval training. They perform a high proportion of their training volume as interval training, around 25%.
