Summary

Do you know how to dial in your training zones for each workout? Have you mastered how zone 4 pace feels in the water or zone 2 heart rate feels on a run? An athlete's fitness is constantly changing so therefore the the feel of each training zone will change as well. This week Coaches Jeff Raines and Ryan Tibball join the podcast to discuss the importance of training at a variety of paces and share their coaching secrets to developing a feel for each different intensity. Jeff and Ryan break down each sport and provide drills to improve the feel of each zone as well as tips for changing between zones. Whether your next workout calls for power, pace or heart rate, by the end of this episode, you'll want to head to the track (or pool) to practice these tips!
