If that link didn't work for you, here's the same paper in a different journal: https://www.academia.edu/32019113/Fr...nsity_Analysis
So I say 80/20, but its not 20% time in zone. 20% of the workouts +/- contain intensity. Total intensity for that period was about 45 min for the week.

I do lift weights/core/whole body work off and on. Not as consistent as I should be though.

I will look at the link, like I said before - there is a ton of info out there, a bunch to assimilate. Tyring to pull it all together. Thanks!!
