Zone 2 Training For Beginners & Advanced Athletes

The acsm guidelines tell you to only do between 20 to 60 minutes of cardio per session 3 to 5 times a week so then why do you train for 2 hours per session?

Great and very interesting video! 🙌🏼

Wow. Question: been training zone 2 for a few days now and it sucks not being able to run. With consistency, will my walk become a jog?

Running at zone-2 sub3 marathon and giving lecture on running. Impressive!!!

i simply cannot believe this guy can run my 5k max effort pace for an entire marathon while casually talking to a camera.

The MAF method gives me 145, calculating from my max gives me 172 🙃

Great video!
Are you Dutch? Ever ran the marathon of Rotterdam? 😁

Question about zone 2 and using fats as a fuel source. In the video you consume a few gels, which are mostly carbs correct? If zone 2 is burning fat for energy, shouldn't we then consume fats while running to keep fueled? Just looking for some clarification here as seems counter intuitive, if I'm trying to burn fat for energy I'd think I need to resupply with fats no?

Brilliant video. Very informative and entertaining. This has given me all the information i need. Thanks. Subscribed. 😊

Hi Floris! Great info! When running such long distances on track, should one be cautious of running only in the same direction or is that completely fine?

I'm not running, just doing some weights training and I feel like I'm missing aerobic training very much. Do you have some suggestion on how to run in the winter time?

Hi Floris. All hail the algorithm for bringing me to you.

I've always been fairly active individual, but I've always struggled with making running part of my regular routine, despite it doing wonders for my mental health.

I always suspected it, but your video really hammered it home to me that I was pushing way too hard and feeling way too self-conscious about my performance. You've really motivated me to get out of my head and focus on enjoying my runs through zone 2 training. Now I feel like I can finally make running a true part of my life and wellbeing.

Thank you!

I don’t think you guys understand how insane this is. Bro ran a sub 3 marathon CASUALLY while having a conversation with us the WHOLE TIME.

My low HR is only when walking 😢
How to run with low HR?

i think i have higher heart rate sitting here watching your lecture sir lol amazing level of fitness

What can we get on MAF formula? Our Zone 2 rates? Or a threshold between high and low rate?

I used to run, and never heard of low heart rate training Does it make your heart stronger? Is it good after a heart attack to strengthen your heart?

Too good man👏👏👏

what a great real deal demo...not just words🔥🔥

I have watched this about 10 times so far! My favorite video. It’s bad ass that he can be this informative while running a sub 3 marathon. Hardcore GOALS!!!!!

great run. thanks for the tons of info.

Running a marathon under 3 hour + with low HR and delivering the message with ease .. seriously 🤔👍 I am new recreational runner - this content really inspires. Question what abt strength training during low HR training?

Really is a shame I can only give it one like , I don’t run but I have subscribed for the way you present the information it may help with my other training, cycling and indoor rowing.👍👍

years of consistency creates the zone 2 clase durring marathon. This is proof that consistency and pace is key. Great vid

You schooled me while running a practice marathon. Thnx . your info is gold brother.

your running 9mph.. my treadmill only goes to 9mph.. we die doing half the max.. this is insane.

Sub 3 marathon pace is not a conversational pace for me. You are a killer!!! 😂

I want to sleep better but my kids disagree. Nice video though.

Thank you. Good info

Yeah a solid advice all around! I don’t look at distance at all with my Apple Watch. I make sure I am zone 2-3. And try to spend a good amount of time in each. It also makes it so I’m not pushing myself as hard.

Really basic and amazingly helpful. Thank you.

I wonder how much of LHR training success is due to survivor bias. I've tried it every which way and it just did nothing for me. Even got to 150km a week, all at MAF, and everything in between. But if I go out and run 3km with a heart rate in the 180s, I get an almost instant boost in how fast I run at MAF. Like within a day or two, which carries on until I do another speed session. LHR is fine I'm sure, but it's not the answer for everyone. But if you're known as the LHR guy, you'll be hearing from lots of ppl for whom it worked, all the time. And maybe not so many from those for whom it didn't work and they just gave up never to be heard from again

Thank you for explaning. Starting this with a next run.!

Those sneakers look great but wow pricey !!!!

Great video , thanks so much , very informative !!!!!

I'm a long time hard and over trainer! If that's your mindset it's so hard to train slow. At 65 it's time to give this a real go, thanks for the video! 🙃

I was exhausted to hear you talking while running. Shut down vdo after 2 minutes. Désolé.

All I know is California is getting a lot of chemtrails in background. Yeah, I know they don't exist, or, Dude, them's condensation trails. Yeah, I'm sure you're right...

Bruh. This guys doing a PowerPoint presentation in his head running 6 minute miles during a marathon.

Does anyone know if this form of training work for cycling aswell??

Caffeine is of course a drug addiction
