Part 8/10:
Overtraining with High Intensity: Many athletes push their pace too hard during these sessions instead of keeping their heart rate steady within Zone 2. It's essential to remember that Zone 2 training is not about speed but about building endurance.
Insufficient Zone 2 Sessions: One short session a week won't provide noticeable improvements. You should gradually increase your time spent in Zone 2 until you can maintain sessions of up to 60 minutes.
Avoiding Zone 2 Because It Feels Easy: A common misconception is that workouts must feel intense to be effective. But the essence of Zone 2 is in its low-key intensity, aiding recovery and sustaining performance when needed.
