Low-intensity training (LIT) often takes a backseat in discussions about endurance training, yet it forms the backbone of elite athletes’ success. In our latest blog post, we uncover the paradox of LIT: why it’s the most important yet most misunderstood training intensity. From building a robust aerobic base to understanding how "easy enough" can unlock peak performance, we explore the science and practical insights behind LIT.

Understanding intensity in training can be complex due to varying definitions and applications across sports and regions. We introduce these concepts by promoting a shared language and understanding, as demonstrated by the Norwegian Olympic federation's system. We also explore how integrating risk management strategies into training ensures athletes achieve consistent, long-term development by effectively balancing intensity and recovery.
