  • According to Kieran, Zone 2 training plays a critical role in building the aerobic base needed for sustained performance. It's the foundation that helps your body endure for longer periods without fatiguing. Plus, it teaches your body to become more efficient at using fat as fuel, meaning you can run longer without hitting that dreaded wall.

The article on T3.com discusses the author's experience with Zone 2 training for a half marathon, which significantly improved their running performance. Zone 2 training involves running at a moderate intensity where conversation is still possible, focusing on aerobic capacity rather than speed. The author initially struggled with the slow pace but found that this method, combined with occasional high-intensity interval training (HIIT), led to better endurance and faster race times. The training not only enhanced their physical capabilities but also taught them patience and the value of consistency in training. The article highlights how Zone 2 training can be less taxing on the body, reducing injury risk while still allowing for performance gains, ultimately making the author a faster and more efficient runner.
