The Truth About Zone 2: When It Works and When Its a Waste

Zone 2 is not magic. It’s not a shortcut. And for a lot of working athletes… it’s not enough. In this video, I break down the real truth about Zone 2 training: • What Zone 2 actually is (and why most people define it wrong) • Why it works incredibly well for pros • Why it often underdelivers for time-crunched amateurs • The role of weekly volume, training age, and recovery capacity • When Zone 2 is building durability • When it’s just comfortable junk miles • How I personally use Zone 2 inside a 7–10 hour training week Zone 2 absolutely has value. It builds mitochondrial density, improves fat oxidation, and supports long-term durability. But it only works inside the right context — and context is what most internet conversations ignore. If you’re training 5–12 hours per week while balancing work, family, and real life, you need more than generic advice. You need strategy. This episode is about nuance. It’s about intent. And it’s about making your limited training time actually count.
