Melody Bateman is a runner, an ultra runner and a run coach. A couple of years ago, I interviewed her for her ultra running story (episode 9) but today, I'm talking with her to learn more and to share with you listeners all about building a solid foundation for your running. Listen in as Melody and I discuss heart rate running/ zone 2 running.
I bring up all my own ‘fears/ worries’ as I transition to zone 2 running myself and chances are you’re feeling what I’m going through too - so tune in!
We talk about the importance of easy running w/ hard efforts sprinkled in versus zone 3 running - AKA the ‘black hole’ of many runners. If you’re not already convinced of the importance of zone 2 running, if you’re new to zone 2 running you’re going to want to listen to this episode (I bet even if you’ve been at 80/20 running for a while, you’ll still enjoy this episode).
