How Zone 2 Makes Older Runners Faster


Listen Later

Coach Herb delves into the paradoxical concept of how slowing down can actually make you faster, especially for runners over fifty. He explains the science behind slow-twitch muscle fibers and their role in endurance running, touching on the metabolic processes that fuel our runs. With a focus on zone two of heart rate training, which emphasizes a lower intensity, he promises an eventual increase in performance with reduced injury risks due to a more robust aerobic base.
