Easy running- why bother?

Welcome back! Dan finally feels like he has the time to relaunch the pod and is joined by new co-host, Owain Zerilli. In this episode, we delve into all things "easy running". We started with defining what easy running is from a physiology perspective, before going into describing what benefits we can (and can't) expect from training in "zone 2". We finish by looking at the bigger picture, discussing how we should fit our easy running into our training weeks and practical tips on how to let go of our egos.
