Summary
"Nearly all runners do their slow runs too fast, and their fast runs too slow." – Born To Run
We start with a very detailed discussion about Zone 2 workouts, including what it means, why it works, and how to do it. We also get into allergies, HIIT workouts, and cross-training as it applies to triathlon. We also take a close look at power meters for running. Do they work? How do they work? Are they necessary?
Topics:
- Allergy face
- Zone 2 Running and everything you need to know to understand and execute it
- HIIT Classes/Workouts
- Power Meters for Running - are they a useful tool?
- Learning your Outputs before adding more inputs
- Rowing as a supplement
- Triathlon specific cross-training
- Tips for staying in Zone 2
