Long Slow Run Long slow run is a relative term. Both in length and speed. This session we are looking to stay in our Zone 2 heart rate, so honk of this as conversational pace and don’t worry about distance achieved or pacing other than as a metric for improved fitness. It doesn’t matter if your pace is 7:00/km or more, if you can then hit this each week and your pace increases while heart rate stays in the same zone we know that we are improving. Week 1 we want to start with 25-30 minutes of CONTINUOUS running/jogging and we will slowly increase this as needed. Mark down distance completed and put the time you ran for in your notes also please.
