Q&A #50 - Antioxidants and endurance training; Time in Zone vs. Modified Session Goal approach

• What is the relation between antioxidants, antioxidant requirements and endurance training? Can antioxidant supplementation impair training adaptation, and should we avoid antioxidants?
• If I want to calculate my Time in Zone (TiZ) for a workout, what approach is recommended?
• How do I find the balance between running that is easy enough that my heart rate stays low, but not too easy so it's just a shuffle with poor form?
