Zone 2 recovery run

It’s been a while since I last trained in zone 2. Adjusting to zone 2 heart rate training proved challenging; it felt like I was walking or briskly walking. To overcome this, I focused on running as slowly as possible, ignoring my usual pace. Throughout my 10km run, I concentrated on maintaining my zone 2 heart rate. It wasn’t always easy, as my heart rate occasionally rose into zone 3. In those moments, I had to reduce my pace or even slow down by walking to lower my heart rate back to zone 2 before continuing. I’m still training to get my body accustomed to zone 2 before I can try speeding up and maintaining it. 🙌🏼
