Zone 2 Cardio for Dog Sports


Listen Later

Ever wonder why some handlers seem to sprint through the course effortlessly while others run out of steam halfway?

In this episode, we’re diving into Zone 2 cardio—the unsung hero of speed, stamina, and recovery for dog sports.

You’ll learn why running faster isn’t just about sprinting and how endurance in higher heart rate zones can help you recover quicker, sustain energy, and feel strong for every round.

I’ll also give you actionable ways to check if you’re in Zone 2 and how to build it into your training without overdoing it.

What You’ll Learn:

  • What Zone 2 cardio is and why it matters for agility.

  • How improved endurance helps you recover between runs.

  • How to check your heart rate without a complicated gadget.

  • Why consistency beats intensity for long-term performance.

    • How to strategically incorporate Zone 2 sessions into a handler-focused training plan.


    If you want all the tools to build agility-specific endurance and speed, check out the All Access Pass—workouts, recovery strategies, and handler-focused training all in one place.
