Zone 2 is the easy-pace cardio that health podcasts can't stop talking about. Here's the short version.
What is it?
A steady effort where you can still talk in full sentences, but you'd rather not sing. Brisk walking uphill, an easy bike, a relaxed row. It builds your aerobic base, which helps everything from HYROX to climbing stairs.
How much?
Many coaches suggest a few hours a week across the week, mixed with some harder efforts. Start with what you can sustain. Two 30-minute sessions beat zero 90-minute ones.
Strength plus a good engine is the combo. Read more on strength for longevity, and if you like running with people, check our socials for run club.
Strength first. Engine second.
