Get a HR monitor. Find your zone 2 HR range. Run/walk in that range and not a timed pace.


Zone 2 training has been the hardest thing I've ever tried. Mentally, it's really hard to do.


ETA: I will get my VO2 checked again after my half marathon in April. If my VO2 has improved, I'll keep going with the zone 2 stuff.

What’s your half marathon pace? Are you walk/running that shite? Cause that’s gay.

I just got a hr monitor and started zone2 training. It is difficult to stay that low.

What program are you following? I'm running 3 days a week. Tuesday around 6 miles at zone 2, thursdays i run six miles with intervals( 8x400 with zone 2 before, between and after), then a long zone 2 on saturday or sunday (8-12 miles). I completely made up this program on my own and am wondering if it is good.

I am hoping to improve my 10k times and also build up to doing some trail half marathons.
