The Zone Two Advantage: Unveiling the Triathlete's Secret Weapon

Coach Mike Ricci interview 6 time National Champion Coach Jim Hallberg about the importance of Zone 2 and how Jim relies on it to see progress with his athletes.  Takeaways Zone 2 training is the foundation of all training in endurance sports. Zone 2 training improves aerobic capacity without excessive fatigue or muscle breakdown. Perceived effort, heart rate, pace, and power can be used to determine Zone 2 intensity.

The balance between Zone 2 training and higher intensity workouts should be individualized based on race goals and time availability. --- Support this podcast:  https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/d3-mikericci/support
