Slow down to speed up. Zone 2 running is everywhere right now—but what does it really mean, and why is it so important for runners of all levels? In this week’s Getting Back to the Basics episode, Coach James breaks down the science of base training, explains how your body uses the Krebs cycle to create energy, and shares research-backed studies that prove a bigger base leads to a higher peak.

You’ll learn:

• How Zone 2 training builds aerobic capacity and endurance
• Why mitochondria and lactate clearance are game-changers for runners
• Research from top exercise scientists on the benefits of easy running
• Practical ways to find your Zone 2 and build mileage safely

👉 The truth: easy miles aren’t wasted—they’re the foundation of speed, strength, and long-term performance.
