As a coach I find the new athlete thinks everything should be as hard as you can go. Getting a noob to buy into Zone 2 running is hard but if they do they will love the results.

What should I do if I just cannot get my hr down to zone 2 when running no matter what? It usually just goes up to 170bpm and stays there no matter how fast or slow I go

#gtncoachescorner I'm supposed to be sprinting at the end of my warmup? 😮 Ok so what does the perfect warmup look like for a sprint triathlon and how long before the event should I do it bearing in mind the ungodly hour we usually start at? My current warmup involves walking to the toilet and back a few times and jogging on the spot whilst chatting to people. Thanks, huge fan of the show!

Need to know how to calibrate my RPE.

Don't think there is an app for that yet... Jokes aside, a pyramid fartlek is good for this - starting with short hard efforts, building to longer efforts (3-5mins), and then back down with easy running between the efforts. You'll quickly learn to judge your effort level, on both the hard and the easy.

Great video as always! I like the idea of running by feel, but I'm not very good at it. Always end up using pace bands on my watch instead. I noticed that you both are wearing two watches in this video. Was there a reason for that?

One watch, one Whoop.

Clearly all my runs are either tempo or threshold then 🤨

Thanks for the tips as always, these are great. However, should Heather be actually running at this point? Maybe Mark can do some work in her place?

Don’t know but an interesting question. Biathlete Justine Breisaz-Bouchet was still roller-skiing and shooting pregnant. Like a few other biathletes, she was back competing the following season and all of them were seen on skis or roller-skis at a more advanced stage. I guess they try to be more careful to avoid high speed falls. However, there is less impact than running when you do avoid falls, so what is the best sport in this situation? I can’t imagine cycling to be very comfortable, but how would I know. Maybe it is the XC skis/ rollers in fact ;-)

Ultimately it is between her and her health care provider. But in general women who exercise regularly can continue most of those exercises safely through pregnancy.

@heatherfell_oly 9 ай бұрын

I appreciate your concern but it is my body and my educated and informed decision. Exercise is healthy for mind and body whether pregnant or not.

@jlore6344 9 ай бұрын

Thanks and I was just generally curious. Maybe an episode on exercise and pregnancy could be helpful to many other followers. I am very happy for you and look forward to watching your progress.

#GTNcoachescorner hi GTN, How do I increase speed on my easy/zone 2 runs? I feel like a snail with my 8:30 minutes per kilometer (If I don’t run that slow my heartrate will creep over 155). I am able to run a sub 30 5k, so I find the difference very large.

@matthewcreelman1347 9 ай бұрын

Going from race calculators, I apparently run all my easy stuff too slow, my long run bang-on, and my tempo stuff way, way, way, way too slow. Time to suck it up and go harder on the easy and tempo I guess!

It is not like one size fits all and if you are more or less untrained you need to put in quite a bit of hard work to improve your fitness and not just jog around endlessly. If on the other hand you are at your peak performance and already work very hard in your daily training it might very well be beneficial to dial back on some sessions in order to come back even harder later on.

@veydajar 9 ай бұрын

I would say if you are *truly* untrained, you need to put in quite a bit of work DURATION (not intensity) - 6-12hrs/wk, for a year or two, to build your aerobic foundation - before throwing *any* kind of intensity into the mix. Indoor bike in ERG mode (or an elliptical), with occasional easy run-walks (for joint and tendon development), is great for that kind of introductory work. What is "untrained"? By that I mean poor metabolic fitness, where *any* running above brisk walking pace (13-15min/mi) puts you into Z3 in 20min or less.

Additional confusion. Every body is told by "experts" to do 80% of your runs at an Easy pace. Yet the way this is explained is that every run other than the Zone 2 run is going to put you in Zone 3, 4, or 5. So there is no way you can do 80% of your runs as easy runs.

@samueljames7071 9 ай бұрын

I've had to use an alternative calculation for where my zones are (Karvonen). It was the only way I could maintain a run without walking every 20 seconds. For reference, the zone 2 came out as between 136 and 149 which is easy to maintain. It would be interesting to see how these calculations compare to state of the art methods for zone determination.
