Zone 2 training, often referred to as the aerobic base-building phase, is crucial for runners looking to improve their speed and endurance. This training zone involves exercising at a moderate intensity where you can still hold a conversation, typically at 60-70% of your maximum heart rate. According to the article on MSN, Zone 2 training enhances the body's ability to utilize fat as fuel, increases mitochondrial density, and improves capillary networks, all of which contribute to better aerobic capacity and efficiency. The article explains how to incorporate Zone 2 training into a running schedule, suggesting that runners should aim for long, steady runs where the effort feels sustainable for an extended period. It also provides tips on how to gauge the correct intensity, like using perceived exertion or heart rate monitors, and emphasizes the importance of patience as improvements from this type of training are gradual but significant for long-term performance gains.
