Best video that explains this very clearly,,,,,makes sense that the mitochondria density accounts for endurance and good breathing while under pressure
So lets say i run in zone 2 for 2 months and occasionally add in a higher intensity interval training, what kind of progress can i make in said amount of time?
I'll give you my own example. Now, I'll preface this by saying that earlier that year I had run a 1:31:02 half-marathon (HM) and I was training for my next when I sustained an injury that put me out for several months. My next HM was in early November and I officially got back into some light training on the 1st September. Before that, I was doing some mobility and stretching exercises, plus some squats, but that's all. As I hadn't done anything for so long, I started with some light bike riding, which I progressively built up over the next 3 weeks. I started some easy running in late September, so effectively I only had 6 weeks to build up my running fitness and endurance. I did ALL my training on a commercial treadmill. I ran 3 days in a row at easy pace, rest day, 3 days at easy pace, rest day, etc, I did this for approx. 4 weeks. Then, I started doing to basic fartlek sessions, going from easy pace to slightly faster, then slightly faster, back down to easy pace and repeat 4 times. I only did several of these sessions over the next 2 weeks, in combination with longer easy runs. Race day came around and I ended up running the HM in 1:33:57 So to answer your question, ABSOLUTELY, you can make massive progress in just 2 months only running in zone 2 and occasionally adding in higher intensity.

Thanks for all the great content. It has improved my running journey and getting better
Keep up the great content 😊 🏃♂️
Thank you Taren from Stephen in the UK
I’m able to jog at 9:30 per mile only breathing through my nose only. Is that good? I just started walking a month ago and now I run. I’m 42 183 6ft

Positive progress
If you did this I would say you would get about 35-40 units of progress depending on your diet
