Zone 2 is a moderate intensity where you can still hold a conversation. This is where your body learns to use fat as fuel and builds its aerobic base.
Why it's so effective
Zone 2 training improves cardiovascular health, increases the number of mitochondria (the cells' power plants) and builds a solid base for more intense efforts — all without burning out your nervous system.
How to find it
Simple rule of thumb: you're breathing harder but can still speak in full sentences. In terms of heart rate (HR), that's usually around 60 to 70% of your maximum. Tracking your heart rate helps you stay in the zone.
Key takeaway: zone 2 is the pace where you can still hold a conversation. It builds your endurance and protects your heart, without burning you out.
