The Long and The Short Of It

388. Zone 2


Listen Later

Inspired by another learning from his triathlon, Pete shares with Jen a training technique, and both of them noodle on what it might look like to work within Zone 2 (and not constantly overexerting in Zone 5).

Specifically, in this episode Jen and Pete talk about:

  • What are the five zones of energy and effort?
  • Why is it important to take periods of rest?
  • How might a more continuous method of training be more efficient and impactful than a high intensity one?
