Q&A #88 - Polarised training or 80/20 - how to distribute moderate and high intensity work across the three disciplines

• Should you follow a similar training intensity distribution in all three disciplines, or can you for example do more hard training on the bike and less on the run? 
• The importance of lower intensity training (it's not just "filler") 
• Alternatives to using fixed percentages for figuring out how much moderate and high intensity training you can do
