Did a 5 miler today and really tried to focus on staying in zone 2 when it came to heart rate. I found it to be quite difficult actually as I would either need to run very slowly or even stop to walk to points when I crossed into zone 3.
I’ve heard there are positive benefits for zone 2 training so I’ll try to do this more often. Supposedly it allows you to train more since you’re not pushing yourself fully and right now I’m in a cut phase after 6 solid weeks of lifting. Hoping to drop another 5 lbs before the summer hits!
