Low-intensity work becomes crucial for people with high training loads, like those running a marathon or preparing for Hyrox, to balance recovery and performance. “The intensity zones are mostly good for managing the stress of training and putting it all together,” says Seiler. But zone 2 may not be as important for people who aren’t training hard in the first place. If you’ve only got a few hours a week to exercise, higher-intensity work might get faster benefits, says Gurd. Seiler agrees: “If you’re only training two or three times a week, you can get away with quite a lot. You’re not going to do anything dangerous to your body because you’ve got these rest days in between.”
