The Run Down: Separating Grey Zone, Zone 3, and Junk Miles in Running
Join me at my LIVE Masterclass - March 13th https://link.drwillo.com/reigniteyourrunning🏃♂️ Runners, have you heard of the difference between Grey Zone, Zone 3, and Junk Miles? If not, you could be doing more harm than good to your training and performance!💪 Grey zone training is pushing too hard without the right intensity and can lead to fatigue, injury, and plateau. On the other hand, Zone 3 is the ideal low-dose strength and stamina-building zone.😲 But beware, zone 3 can quickly turn into grey zone if you push the pace too hard. That's why it's important to find your thresholds (pace, power, heart rate) and set your training zones.💻 My simple three-step process for setting your running thresholds:1️⃣ Get a baseline measurement of your running performance with a 30min TT.2️⃣ Determine your threshold levels based on your average pace/power/HR of the last 20min of your 30min baseline measurement.3️⃣ Create training zones based on your thresholds. https://link.drwillo.com/calculators📝 Don't let grey zone training ruin your running journey.
