Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I keep hearing that easy running should be the bulk of what we do. Is this true? also from a thread on slowtwitch easy running was stated as the number one thing to do to stop getting injured.

What is easy running? how do we define it?

Less than 70% of working heart rate, or 75% of maximum if you prefer. Three minutes per mile slower that 5k pace if you're not a HR person.

glenn - no basically

easy is not steady

I spend a lot of time in zone 1

checked and of 183 sessions 132 of mine have had an avg hr below 55% true zone 1 easy

zone 2 or steady 65 % 19 sessions

zone Gray area training zone of the average and under achievers who are tired (65 to 75% ) 3 sessions

dont get me wrong I do work in zone 3 but it is not where to train.

Now I know I can run 8mm for barely 55% so ignore my ultra low but sub 65% and build endurance
