Do elite athletes do less HIIT than us amateurs?😁

Hello everyone, reading this wonderful book by Coach @Paul Laursen, I noticed that elite athletes only do one high-intensity session on the bike, while in ATHLETIC we have one 30/30" session and one Race Pace session in addition to the Strength session (would that be an MIT?).

I wanted to know what exactly is meant by LIT? Is it a Z2 workout? Is it a First Ventilatory Threshold workout, or are there high-intensity intervals at the M threshold as well, then is the lactate lowered to an average of 2.5 mmol?
