Zone 2 in a Nutshell

Fitness Confidential

Vinnie Tortorich and Andy Schreiber discuss Zone 2 simply on today's Wednesday edition of the Angriest Trainer podcast. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR Pure Vitamin Club ! VINNIE'S WEEK Just came back from a week of crewing in the desert Vinnie records at least 4 shows a week -- that's quite a lot! Over 450 or some odd episodes up WHAT IS ZONE 2... REALLY? There are 5 zones, although most people only need to think of zones 1-4 Everyone has an anaerobic threshold Zone 5: where your body goes when lactic acid production > lactic acid clearing This is for intense athletes Zone 1: basically walking, maybe a fast walk Zone 2: When you're breathing hard, but can still have a conversation You can get a test in a lab to tell you what your threshold for zone 2 is Poor man's way: take 180, subtract by age, add a few points if you are very active and anywhere in there you are hitting zone 2 (heart rate) Slow up a bit if you are in zone 3, because then you are burning more glycogen than fat If you are looking to PR a marathon, look into some zone 3 and 4 Best way to stay in shape AND burn fat! Little sprint spurts (only if you have a good base) are fine Do this for minimum of 8 wks (Vinnie recommends 12 wks)
