#757 - Why You Should Fall In Love With Zone 2


Listen Later

Efficiency might be the biggest key to you having a successful race and that all starts in Zone 2. Yes, we know it's "boring" but today we give you other ways to think about it, specifically as in, why do you not enjoy doing something that is good for you and your health? We talk about teaching the body to burn fat so you're not so dependent on calories. We look at swimming and why practicing swimming slow is a great exercise. We really boil down Zone 2 in a way that helps understand why it's the key to great racing. We look into cravings and calories and what they might really be indicating. Zone 2 is about getting and understanding the "feel" for racing, which ultimately isn't about how fast you go, but how little you slow down. Dive into the big picture and learn to love your Zone 2 work.
