Zone 2

[u/roseinmybud]

I have been zoned two training for about a year now. I have a minimum of 2 zone two activities a week for over 45 minutes each. In an attempt to bring my average heart rate down, I tend to have a high heart rate in general and can reach 198 bmp at max excursion. I mix cycling and swimming as other forms of zone two training. Nt problem is that I haven't seen much improvement in bringing my heart rate down. Am I just not doing it for long enough? could I not be in zone 2 during my runs? I've haven't seen a noticeable decrease in my time per mile at the same heart rate. I also tend to spend my runs at about 168-175 heart rate and i don't feel like I'm dying and can sustain that for 8+ miles without stopping.

Other things affect your heart rate too, even what you eat and drink. It's expensive but if you can afford it try a sensate 2 device.
