Today I’m talking about my journey into heart rate training and the two main reasons for pursuing it: improved performance and better health. Switching to zone 2 running is appealing thanks to tag lines like “go slow to become faster’. For many runners having to run slow, often much slower can be a cause of anxiety for runners. Listen in as I share how to manage these thoughts so you don’t have to hate zone 2 running or give up on it.
