Wann ist der richtige Zeitpunkt für Leistungsdiagnostik?

Hab ich auch schon gemerkt und mir eine garmin Forerunner 970 umd Polar H10 gekauft. Was aber nichts am grumdlegenden Problem ändert, die meisten Trainingsempfehlungen sind letzlich auf irgendwelchen Zonen oder Laktatschwellen ausgerichtet und wenn die auf den Uhren hinten und vorne nicht stimmen, i
