So just found out about zone 2 training recently. Really did not understand how easy I had to run. Started running End of May and until the end of August was only running 2 to 5 mpw but at all zone 4 and 5 intensity...like an idiot. Now running 10 mpw in zone 2 since Sept 1 and shaved my 5k time down to 28 minutes. Still bad but seem to be progressing at that distance now that I understand how to train.
Been tracking my heart rate only for 5 weeks now and weird thing is my max HR has increased from 180 to 191 and I haven't even been pushing myself in the hard runs near as much as I used to. Then my avg HR in easy long runs has also been increasing and my easy run pace hasn't improved....yet my 5k time very much improved.
What kinda max HRs do you guys have?
