Definition

Low-intensity activity performed during recovery between efforts or after harder exercise. Its practical meaning depends on the athlete, event, measurement method or training context, so it should not be interpreted as an isolated universal rule.

Practical use

Define the session by its purpose, intensity, duration and recovery pattern before choosing pace or power targets.
