Zone 2 Training Isn't Magic, It's a Tool

From Chasing Excellence · 00:15:31

Show by Ben Bergeron & Patrick Cummings

We're breaking down zone 2 training - what it actually does physiologically, why elite endurance athletes build so much of their programming around it, and where it fits for the rest of us who aren't training for a marathon or an ultra.We're exploring the difference between what elite endurance athletes need and what builds real, well-rounded fitness for life - strength, mobility, speed, and the ability to move without pain - not just more time in an easy heart rate zone.By treating zone two as one tool among many rather than the whole plan, we build awareness of what actually serves our training, intention around using it wisely, and action toward a life of health, happiness, and purpose - instead of drifting toward whatever's trending.Keep Going🐾 Start your Free Trial of the ChaseTracker App❤️‍🔥 Free Newsletter & the Chase ClubReach Out✋🏼 What questions do you have for us?💬 Got feedback?
