  My slowest jog goes to 175bpm. Thus my zone 2 is sleeping

  I'm really good at sitting at my desk in zone 2. When grabbing a beer from the fridge I hit zone 3, so I do interval training for that (2 beer runs an hour), which maintains my fitness

  I’ve been training for 2 years and I can finally slow jog in zone 2 with minimal walk breaks! Biggest accomplishment EVER!

  Run as fast as you can 30-40 minutes. I guess I'll see heaven before I find my baseline

  I run a pace of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFprojE82Ds&amp;t=500">8:20</a> min/KM at 161 bpm HR. For me to achieve &quot;zone 2&quot; i would have to brisk walk instead of run 😅

  this completely true, I&apos;ve been running in zone 2 for 2 months and theres a noticeable change in my HR. I used to need to stop every 1-2 mins for my hr to go back down under 150 during my runs. Now, I can run 10km at a steady hr of 142-145 without stopping.

  Walk breaks aren&apos;t just a crutch, they&apos;re key to effective and enjoyable Z2 runs. Z2 is slow enough for most people that they will have to compromise their running form to go slow enough to maintain a low enough HR, if they don&apos;t take any breaks. With walk breaks, you can enjoy running with a natural and comfortable form, taking a break either whenever you feel a hint of getting out of breath, or according to a schedule. There&apos;s no need to leave the walk breaks behind as you get faster either. I&apos;ve run a sub-3 h marathon with walk breaks and I don&apos;t think I could have done it without them.

  I have been running for 10 years, races and all. However ive never did Zone 2 training. But started 2 weeks ago for the heck of it. I always end my run with some natural effort to speed up a bit, like the final mile in a 7 mile run. And it is insanely beneficial at least for me, i feel lighter on my feet. And something i noticed,is im not mentally burdened or bothered to start a run in say early morning.cuz i know im not going hard at it or Starting with a fartlek or HIIT. I know i could Run fast, zone two didn’t slow me down, it is giving me more assurance and confidence i love it. Oh im in my mid 40’s .
