Now that I’m in my hybrid athlete era training for my first triathlon, I’ve learned just how important Zone 2 really is. Zone 2 is the foundation that steady pace where your heart rate stays low enough to talk but high enough to build endurance. This is where your body learns to use fat for fuel, expands your aerobic base, and builds the engine you need to go longer and stronger. Most people want to redline every workout, but without Zone 2, you’re missing the real key to performance. It’s not just about going hard it’s about going smart. #hybridathlete #triathlete #training #zone2 #running
