Part 4 and we’re closing the book on this one 🤙🏻

Last week (before the Memorial Day weekend) was a perfect example of why Zone 2 running should not be based only on pace.

Hot and humid day?

Your Zone 2 pace may slow way down….and that’s OK!!

Cooler, overcast day?

That same Zone 2 heart rate may give you a much faster pace.

Same runner.

Same fitness.

Different conditions….it’s gonna happen!

That’s why I want athletes using heart rate and feel on easy aerobic runs. Not every run has to be ‘Strava-worthy’ 🫣

Zone 2 should feel conversational, controlled, and repeatable.

You should finish feeling like you could have kept going.

Tempo runs, intervals, and race pace work are different…..

But for Zone 2 runs, stop chasing pace….please!

Build the engine.

Easy runs easy.

SO YOU CAN DO your hard runs hard 💯
