Do You Do Zone 2?
As I get older I put increasing value on the importance of zone 2 cardio.
For those without a heart rate monitor, you could think of this as movement at a nose-breathing or conversational pace.
For aerobic athletes this is a profoundly important base-building pace. Smarter people than me advocate that 80% of your training time should be in this zone.
As I listen more to Dr. Peter Attia and others concerned with studying longevity, I have begun to also see this as an essential practice for health-building.
What is your relationship to slower cardiovascular training for performance and for health?
