"Zone 2" is having a moment but I've been talking about this for YEARS! The most common reasons I see runners struggle to stay in their easy zone (i.e Zone 2) on easy runs are either because they're using bad data, or because they actually DO need to slow down more than they realize! Easy effort running is a foundational component of your training. For many runners, it should be the majority of their runs every week (notice I said "many", not all, and "majority", not 100%!). And you don't have "an easy pace", you have an easy effort zone ("ZONE 2") that contains a range of paces, & the paces in that zone can change from day to day depending on what else is going on in your life including training fatigue, weather, stress, menstrual cycle, etc. ⁠Using heart rate to help guide you into your easy effort zone can be a GREAT tool for many runners, but you need to make sure you're using this tool PROPERLY if you're going to use it! Want to learn how to properly and accurately set up YOUR heart rate zones for training?

My watch was always telling me I was in zone 3 when it felt easy. Got a chest strap and that completely changed my zones. The watch was estimating them wayyyy too high!

How do you know that if you are actually in Z2 then? Is the ability to converse and RPE a better measure?

I’m 16 and my 5k best is 19:02. To keep my heart rate in Z2, I need to run 7:00/km. Should I trust it?
