ZONE 2 Training…There is great value to this type of training! Over the next 9 weeks we will be doing some specific Zone 2 work and if you have a heart rate monitor we suggest using it. Zone 2 is roughly holding a heart rate that is 185 bpm minus your age. For example, at 35 years old your zone 2 heart rate would be 185-35= 150 bpm. For some this will feel very low and for others, it may feel high. Regardless, we are going to be working on keeping this threshold in our longer duration workouts, 1 day/week, ideally using a heart rate monitor.
