Summary

Vinnie Tortorich and Andy Schreiber discuss Zone 2 simply on today's Wednesday edition of the Angriest Trainer podcast. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR Pure Vitamin Club ! VINNIE'S WEEK Just came back from a week of crewing in the desert Vinnie records at least 4 shows a week -- that's quite a lot! Over 450 or some odd episodes up WHAT IS ZONE 2... REALLY? There are 5 zones, although most people only need to think of zones 1-4 Everyone has an anaerobic threshold Zone 5: where your body goes when lactic acid production > lactic acid clearing This is for intense athletes Zone 1: basically walking, maybe a fast walk Zone 2: When you're breathing hard, but can still have a conversation You can get a test in a lab to tell you what your threshold for zone 2 is Poor man's way: take 180, subtract by age, add a few points if you are very active and anywhere in there you are hitting zone 2 (heart rate) Slow up a bit if you are in zone 3, because then you are burning more glycogen than fat If you are looking to PR a marathon, look into some zone 3 and 4 Best way to stay in shape AND burn fat! Little sprint spurts (only if you have a good base) are fine Do this for minimum of 8 wks (Vinnie recommends 12 wks)

I am still, I'm behind the eight ball, edge. Big time. Why are you behind the eight ball? Well, as you know, I took a whole week off. Actually, it was like vacation for me because I got to go hang out in the desert. We accrued for Tony Patera out there. It was a great time. Serena and me, you know, we really enjoyed ourselves. We got to meet his family, his, one of his daughters who were in the van with us. Sounds like a blast. Yeah. But, you know, we got back Friday and both of us literally hit the ground running. Literally. I mean, yeah, because, you know, real estate doesn't stop. No, it doesn't. Yeah. That's right. You saw me, we were trying to do some Pure Vitamin Club videos. Yeah.

And we were supposed to meet at noon, almost said moon. Yeah. But I got here, I said get here at one. Yeah. You know, because I wanted to shave and shower because it's best if I look a little better. A little more presentable on camera. Yeah, because as you know, when I don't shave, I look like I'm 100. A little saskwatching, yeah. So that was that. And, you know, and then we go right into tomorrow. There's more podcasting. There's more. Yeah. Clients. There's more, more, more, more. It just never stops. I know.
