#757 - Why You Should Fall In Love With Zone 2

Efficiency might be the biggest key to you having a successful race and that all starts in Zone 2. Yes, we know it's "boring" but today we give you other ways to think about it, specifically as in, why do you not enjoy doing something that is good for you and your health? We talk about teaching the body to burn fat so you're not so dependent on calories. We look at swimming and why practicing swimming slow is a great exercise. We really boil down Zone 2 in a way that helps understand why it's the key to great racing. We look into cravings and calories and what they might really be indicating. Zone 2 is about getting and understanding the "feel" for racing, which ultimately isn't about how fast you go, but how little you slow down. Dive into the big picture and learn to love your Zone 2 work.  Topics: Swim Camp Experience Simplification of a complicated sport Swimming technique Everyone looks different in the water Do you work on swimming slow?

Efficiency is King Too far or too hard The feel, the force, the fast Burning fat  More purpose under the water Think more about the final produce (aka race) Under fueled or you just ate the wrong stuff? Craving sugar or salt Topping off the right tank Once you get too hot, it's over The point of no return with heat and calories Calories equal energy How will you spend your calories? Most of us are bad spenders    Coaching Inquiries Mike Tarrolly - [email protected] Robbie Bruce - [email protected] www.c26triathlon.com
