    How do I run in zone 2?

    @dawn16 I honestly don’t pay much attention to the rest of the stuff, for instance my run on Monday said I needed to 3.5days to recover, but I did stride repeats the next day because I felt fine to do so, I usually self report as fine even though my HR was high, because I do feel fine. I use...

    How do I run in zone 2?

    @dawn16 I need the watch to actually get myself to go. I spent years wanting to run and never actually doing it. I agree that it can cause more anxiety and stress than it’s worth sometimes.

    How do I run in zone 2?

    @tkm Thank you. I have quite a deviated septum and have always been a bit of a mouth breather haha. I focus a lot on managing my breath when I’m running to not puff and pant, in through the nose out through the mouth etc, but I usually end up doing a double breath in and a single breath out...

    How do I run in zone 2?

    @anon103 The highest my HR went was 202, and I started feeling really unwell (a sprint finish). When I was a bit heavier my runs would frequently take my heart rate into 190+. I’m 32F. I don’t get that sickness feeling when it’s around the 180 but I certainly couldn’t carry a conversation.

    How do I run in zone 2?

    @katie4469 I love running outside but my local park is very hilly so I usually end up just the same. When I’m outside I don’t check my watch ad much though so that’s a bonus I guess. And thanks for the sub recommendation!

    How do I run in zone 2?

    @eshaun92 I want to run in zone 2 because it is my goal to run a marathon, and I think that 4 hours at 180+bpm probably isn’t a good thing? My longest run was 13.3km and took me 1hr30ish (some warm up and cool down there) and most of that was 180bpm +. I want to improve my fitness so I’m able to...

    How do I run in zone 2?

    @summer37087 Thank you, I’ve mentioned in some comments that I can run with 180+ for over an hour, but I certainly couldn’t hold a conversation. I am much much fitter now, I used to run for 2mins at 8kmph and my hr was over 190, even went into 200 a couple of times and I felt awful, like death...

    How do I run in zone 2?

    @takkula So I should just walk then? Incline to get hr higher as walking usually gets me about 115hr?

    How do I run in zone 2?

    @catzetier I use my garmin to measure my HR, and when I’m on the treadmill I will periodically hold the sensors to see if they are both reporting the same HR, they are usually within 2-3 beats of each other. I certainly could not carry a conversation, and I try and control my breathing by...

    How do I run in zone 2?

    @richardsonne Yea I’ve been waiting to see a physio to ask about my calf pain for over 2 months now, it’s just so painful to run slowly I must be doing something wrong, and if I try and video myself in the gym, well that’s just a recipe for disaster lol. I’m going to try the incline method and...
