How do I find my zone 2?
How do I find my zone 2? There are ways to estimate HR zones including the formula 220-age to find out maximum heart rate. Zone 2 is approximately 60-70% of maximum heart rate. For me, HRmax would be 220-30= 190. However, this calculation can be off from true HRmax by 20 bpm.
What does zone 2 look like?
Think of it as going for a jog while you can still hold a conversation – somewhere between 60-70% of your maximum heart rate. The purpose behind Zone 2 training is to be able to sustain a pace just below your aerobic threshold for 30+ minutes.
