HR-based training plan almost entirely in zone 1

For example, Level 2 Olympic Distance triathlon training has a 40 min run in zone 1, and a 55 minute cycle in zone 1. This is a warmup zone, not an aerobic zone. Why would I do long training sessions in Zone 1? Surely these should be done in zone 3 for any proper benefit?
