"[A]s I implement Zone 2 training for doing distance running again I was lamenting not having done so for my 2013 marathon training. . . I thought I had. . .. Looking back over the data however it is pretty clear that I did not."

@fivemmvegemite @marvinfreeman I started incorporating zone 2 runs and noticed I only got faster when I started duing some faster intervals or fast medium-long runs. Doing "just" zone 2 alone increased my endurance and was good as a recovery run. The zones shift when you work on the threshold.

Ok, that makes sense. I’ve only intermittently been doing intervals. I’ll try to make them a more regular part of my runs and see how it goes.
