I am ready to fly now! Based on my reading on some running forums it appears in general for distance running high arches without the right support can give you achillies issues and shin splints and flat feet can be more knee problems. My knees are great so that tracks. |

Can someone explain why Zone 2 training works like I am a toddler? Ive only ran once with my Garmin Golf watch which will tell me my heart beat and apparently I'm always running in zone 4 and even zone 5. My heartbeat is routinely 170 to 185 especially by the end of my run. I thought this was a good thing. But My friend who ran cross country and long distance track at our college said this is bad to do often and to run at zone 2 for a long time and for the great majority of your training. Apparently that is like fast walking speed for me. Even my "easy runs" are upper zone 3/lower zone 4.

Are you well hydrated? If you are on TRT or self supplementing you should get your hematocrit checked. |

I never drink when I run because I never run longer than a half hour previously. Today I ran 5 miles in an hour slow as ****. Didnt even feel like I needed water when I was done. Felt like such a schlub. Last edited by BWillie; 09-11-2024 at 09:54 AM.. |

8oz of water is just over one pound. So if you are down two pounds you need to consume 16oz to get back to pre-excercise hydration. |

I'm kind of in your same boat. I didn't really have a Zone 2. A walk would be Zone 1 and once I ran, I would instantly jump to 170ish bpm in Zone 5. I'd basically run a mile, walk a minute and repeat for the 3-7 miles I was running and could maintain this just fine. I've gotten slower and less frequent running since surgery on my knee for a meniscus tear. As a result, my heart rate isn't peaking nearly as much averaging more in the 150s. I've tried the Zone 2 training a few times but never committed enough to see results. I understand the benefits, but it's frustrating to move so slow to build up the endurance you'll eventually see. |

Ive been slackin' like a mofo this past month. Ive lost some momentum. Been to the gym like 3 times in the last 3 weeks and havent really been playing any sports either. I can see it in the mirror.
