actually pretty good advice. You got me - I plead guitly - did / do both mistakes 😕 ran to fast, recovered too little...

[@71spud]

What if Z2 is too slow to have good efficient running form? Running with bad form seems like it would increase the chance of injury and create bad habits.

[@Smashycrashy]

Stick with it while working on keeping your form correct. It is hard but will ultimately make you faster and more efficient. It feels like you can’t run slow with correct form at first.

From what they say, your heart doesn't know and doesn't care if you are running or fast pace walking. The only one who cares is your ego. So if still can't run, walk, you will still be training your zone 2, which thru time will improve your running.

[@EmileKleinhans]

Walk in between. Jog slow but as your HR goes higher walk in between. Walk fast enough so you HR lowers slowly then you spend more time in zone 2 without putting too much strain on your muscles and joints.

0:30 Haha!! I have never ever been able to run "too fast"! 😂

[@Tritiuminducedfusion]

How does cumulative fatigue in marathon training fit into this?

[@Simnerd]

Now I want chocolate.

[@TheodoreHolroyd]

Zone 1 is like sitting on a chair?

[@hardipchima7828]

Rubbish how do you run race pace which is considerably faster than race pace if you never practice it during long runs.🤷‍♂️

[@paulwheeler3199]

The answer is that you don’t just train using long slow runs!

80/20
80% easy steady runs
20% speed work
It's just a rebranded training method from 70s/80s
Also don't forget the runners year where specific training for different runs and distances leads from one to the other
Winter Long runs + Cross Country races
> early half's and 10k> to track and summer/autumn races > back to winter
Add the variety and you will be a stronger all round runner.

[@hardipchima7828]

@@oneeye6437 That only works if you are running large volumes - some one running say 30-40 miles a week that would be 6-8 miles. Once you have done a tempo how are you going practice any race pace in a 20 mile long run for marathon training?

Would training the right way get us to the World Geriatric Olympics 2030 ?
