In triathlon training plans such as 80/20, what exactly is zone 5 effort?

For example in a run training session sometimes there will be sets of zone 5 for 30s-90s. Will the efforts at 30s be faster than the efforts at 90s? Or am I supposed to stick with a certain pace for both sets regardless of time? Or am I supposed to go as fast as I can for 30s almost like a sprint?

I know Strava provides training zones and it says my zone 5 is around 5:30min/km and this is a pace I can hold for maybe 15-20min. But to run this for 30s-90s would be pretty easy.

Is this quick link fit normal

I have a 10 speed chain and was provided with the KMC 10 speed Missinglink by the store. When I got home I tried to put it on and off and found it so easy. But when I watch videos online it seems like you need a tool to remove it and some more applied strength to put it on. Is this expected?

Is this an expected quick link fit?

I have the Shimano 105 CN-5600 10 speed chain and the store provided me with this Missinglink 10 speed quick link from KMC.

When I put it on it seems like I don’t need a tool or and strength to snap it on or off, is this normal? Or is this the wrong link? Asking because they also provided me with the quick link pliers but it doesn’t seem like I even need them.

I have boots with BSL 275mm and had them adjusted for this Look Xpress 10 binding 3-4 years ago. I never looked at the forward pressure indicator until today and noticed that there is barely a gap/hole. I found the user manual for these bindings here on page 18 https://www.ajmotionsports.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/LOOK-BINDING-TECH-MANUAL-2020-21_WEB.pdf and I think it suggests that the indicator should have a gap covering half the size of the window. It says:

>Confirm forward pressure is correct by checking that the yellow indicator is in the front half of the window

Could this be because they were incorrectly adjusted at the beginning or perhaps as the sole of the boot wears the indicator changes? Although I guess as long as I see even a tiny hole it means the range is still within the range of a good forward pressure?

I attached some photos. Photo 1 shows the front length adjustment at 279. Photo 2 shows the current back length adjustment at between 273-279 but the forward pressure indicator yellow part seems to cover almost all of the window. Photo 3 shows when I put the back length adjustment to be between 267-273 and the yellow indicator covers half which is what the user manual suggests, but the BSL is 275mm so it's not in between 267-273.

Also as an extra question do I need to adjust the toe height some how? I didn't see any screws for it in this binding or maybe it's hidden.
