I'm struggling to stay in zone 2 with a run. I have to walk or else I go into zome 3. Does it take a while and do you have any specific tips? I get frustrates because I want to run slow in zone 2 but cant maintain zone 2 even with the slowest run possible.

​@@GHOSTSrunningI've had a similar problem, my heart rate is immediately at 150-160 when running even at a pretty slow pace, at least if my watch is measuring correctly. From doing some research, it seems like that's just normal for some people, and it's more important to focus on whether or not you're able to hold a conversation comfortably at the speed you're going at

as a d1 runner we do a majority of our runs at zone 2. really helps us out when start adding thresholds and faster paces later in the blocks. great video!

At running an cycling I am always above 150 hr... Would love to run in zone 2 😄

There’s no way I could do anything over a brisk walk at that heart rate

If needed yes do a brisk walk. As you get fitter zone 2 upgrades to a jog after sometime. It's similar to cycling, my zone 2 initially was super slow. Nowadays my zone 2 rides are pretty fast due to increased ftp.

I finally got the answer, thanks.

Does any KZreadrs actually explain WHY zone 2 is the best range to run in? It’s supposedly based off lactate acid (2mmols) so why 2. Why not 2.5, why not 1.5. What is it that is specifically happening at this lactate threshold that is not happening at the others?

@Haikan.

From what i heard: at the 2mmol maximum fat is used as a fuel source. And you train this intensity to improve the capabilit of this system and mithocondria. CMIMW. Ingo san millan and peter attia is one come to mind for this topics

​@@Haikan.It's also because it's low impact on the body and can be done in large volume without risking injury or overtraining. Most athletes should do most work on zone 2 while adding some high intensity intervals in between days per week.

You can improve your efficiency in zone 2 even when you're getting older. For Zone 4-5 where it's about Vo2max, you will struggle as you get older and it's glycogen based. On fat you can basically run forever without refueling. You will not hit a wall in a run where your fuel storage is depleted at some point. You will not run out of fat.

Absolutely, my zone 2 is at like a 12:30 mile pace currently, and that’s at the top end. I typically run a mile in around 8:30-9:00 depending on the day and whether or not I’ve done weights. It’s very frustrating to stay in zone 2 for jogs so most of the time I just ramp up the incline and walk at a brisk pace.

Do it a lot. Your base work will phenomenally boost your ability and soon enough your low effort pace will be a lot faster.

Question. I started running 4 years ago. My max heart rate was 190, over the years I’ve struggled to get to that number, my Garmin is consistently in maintaining or recovering. Even after weeks of hard track sessions showing a max HR of 177. I’ve lost 3 stone in weight, got stronger and faster, but was told I’m not pushing hard enough on those hard sessions to get to 190 HR. What am I doing wrong?

@JeatBunkie

3 ай бұрын

You need to set your heart rate zones accurately in the connect app. If the watch thinks your max hr is higher than it actually is, it will assume you’re taking it very easy all the time. Do a hard 5k with an all out sprint finish, get the max hr from that data (unless you have a more accurate method) and set it in the app in hr zones

Does anyone know why garmin always does base training in zone 3 and why it includes such a high part of the training in high aerobic? I have been struggling to find a good answer to this for weeks

I struggle to keep my heart rate down at zone 2. Within few mins at the start of my run, my heart rate goes upto 160s and 170s and just sits there till the end of my 5k run. Although its not too exhausting, i'd want to know how to keep the heart rate at zone 2

@PMicklesworth

There could be a number of reasons for this but the most likely is your pace is too fast. Other reasons heart rate is difficult to maintain is due to hydration, heat, quality and quantity of sleep, quality of heart rate measuring device (chest strap will always be better than a watch), your route could be hilly, these are only a few. Your heart rate can be variable for an infinite number of reasons. However, most people are surprised how slow zone 2 is… many people find it frustrating and give up. Your current heart rate is about where I’d expect zone 3 - zone 4. You’re not alone, most people run in these zones because of the comfortably uncomfortable feeling. It’s tough but I can do it. This is a no pain no gain mindset. Unfortunately, this mindset is not as efficient as zone 2 and can put you at greater risk for injury if you always run in this zone. Needless to say it is way better than not exercising so don’t beat yourself up about it. Good luck and keep on exercising. 👍

What I do is I stop and start again. I'll jog gently for 1 minute or less than that, and walk for 2 minutes before starting all over again. And slowly, I'll increase the jog from 1 to 2 minutes, but make sure it's in zone 2 . I increase my minutes very slowly . So when I fully rested and go for a full on run, I feel great because I felt like I built up endurance.

I get to zone 2 just by walking at a slow pace

Some people's easy runs are 4:30 minutes per km, with a heart rate of 130 to 140. My easy run is 7 minutes per km and my heart rate shoots up to 140 to 150. I swear it's genetics. Ran close to 200 marathons in myblife and nothing has changed.

It was my fasting day yesterday and it wasn’t bad at all since I was home. I did have a heavy workout and this morning I felt so weak upon waking up. Hopefully it gets better as I continue my 30 day challenge

Why some runners could have higher running speed when they do zone 2 training ?

because theyre much fitter so their heart doesnt need to beat as much whilsts sprinting whilst other people who are not as fit need to walk because if they jog their heart beats too much.

(Revelation 20:11-15)And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:11-15)
