Thanks so much for this Lucy, really helpful and love the science behind it too as it's helpful to understand how the aerobic runs are going to help the prep for a half marathon this year ☺️
Excellent video! The thing that most people don't talk much about with zone 2 is that when you first start, there's likely A LOT of walking to begin with (a run,walk, run situation) especially if you're new to running. Boy oh boy, is that is a MEGA ego blow! But consistency does work.
Thank you so much for this video! I was struggling with even running a mile and then realized I was pushing myself way too hard every time I ran so of course I couldn’t make it very far. Slowing down my pace helped tremendously and I’ve been able to run over 3 miles in just a few months with that tip! Love the science behind why these runs are important and helpful.
I’m really interested in this side of things, thanks for the vid. Would love to see more in depth about how you monitor your heart rate while running, what to do when it’s going too high (do you literally have to walk or stop?), is the goal supposed to be to stick at one heart rate the entire time, or is it supposed to vary through say as you go up hill etc.
So glad you said Z2 is 70-80% of HRM! I've been running with understanding for 7 months now. Before this I have always done other training like weights, MA and boxing, with some running but no idea of what I should be doing. Having researched a lot.. I have found that the Z2 adaptations occur at and above 70% and this starts to change to anerobic above 80%. Do you know why so many coaches and so called experts say Z2 is 60-70%? It is just not!! Sure you can do Z1 runs as nice easy recovery runs between 60-70% but Z2 is 70-80% People can try this themselves with the talk test and nose breathing test. It has been real frustrating getting to this point, but now I'm glad I can finally just ignore the 60-70% Z2 rubbish!
I love this discussion 😁Off topic though... your makeup and skin in this look stunning!! Would love if you shared some of the products you've been using on one of your social platforms!
Love this Lucy. I do think it would be good to explain Heat Rate (HR) with a bit more context. You need to take into account everyones Max HR is different which in turn effects what your HR should be in your aerobic zone. So your 130 (Z2) may be be the equivalent to someone elses 160 (also Z2). Knowing your max HR is key to working out your own Zone2/3 which is slightly different for everyone! Me and my fried have 20bpm differce in our max hr, so when she's 140 i'm at 160, BUT we're both in aerboic zones. :)
This video helped me “understand” my runs more and experience a different type of run tonight! What was the pain in your shoulder blade Lucy? I put mine down to a pinched nerve due to rowing hard or the way I run, was in agony when I went to get it sorted x
Lucy got a really important question/request for you: Can u plz do a whole video dedicated to a 15min post run cooldown stretch and if you can also, a pre-run mobility stretch prep for however long you do it for (and do u actually do a pre-run stretch prep because I know nick bare does)..Anyway, cheers!
Learnt something new today! Thank you, I am going to try this to my training. Maybe some tips a video on pull ups would be great as I know you are great at them!
Heeey! This video helps sooo much! I am currently trying to improve my half marathon times. But I struggle to see where to fit in these easy runs and interval training. Is interval training then not really as necessary as easy runs? I would appreciate any advise! 😅😁❤️
Thank you for your fantastic videos, Lucy! If you're ever looking for challenge video ideas, would you consider running the Goggins 4x4x48 again and see if you can finish it? I'm doing it soon and would love to see you attempt it again uninjured. 😊
Great advice Lucy!! Thank you ☺️🙏I’ve been loving my runs at the moment and it’s all about the mindset. Let yourself actually enjoy the easier runs! It’s my me time and I get my head straight while I run.🥰👍❤️ sending lots of love from LA!! 💕💕💕 xo
New follower since seeing your hyrox tiktoks! I did my first 3k run last week and my HR was 170bpm! I was only doing a slow pace, didn't feel out of breath nor was I struggling. Is this common for a beginner of 'long distance'? I usually do weight lifting with max 10 mins cardio 😅
I am the same! My heart rate is so high (167) in easy runs that I consider to be super slow, to get my heart rate down I would literally need to be nearly walking 😂 Would love to know this too if this is normal for beginners lol
This is common you need to go slower and build your aerobic base. If you are using a watch to track your heart rate I’d recommend buying a heart rate monitor as they are more accurate 😊
@christinacassimatis3713 thank you, but if I go any slower I'd be walking 😅 I'll look to invest in a HRM so it's more accurate! I currently use my Samsung watch
If you have the correct footwear and know how to with good form, absolutely 👍🏼 just depends on the conditions and how slippy it is!! Wasn’t too bad for me

Hi guys!!! Happy upload day 🎉 Slightly different style of video & I hope you love it!
We love you girl! Happy to see you happy
Can you make a video about any injuries you’ve had with running and how you healed them and started to run back again? (If any)
yes please!

Could you possibly do a pre and post run stretching vid ?
You shouldn't be doing static stretching before a run. If you want to warm-up, dynamic stretches are the way to go.
I’ve posted this on TikTok 🩷 - vm.tiktok.com/ZGeBk4PYS/
This is such great information (not boring)!! Thank you for making this!!

Loved this video! Do you do these aerobic run 1x weekly or multiple times a week?
Hey! Twice xx
Cool rainbow in the sky! ❤ thanks for uploading!
Learnt something new today! Thank you, I am going to try this to my training. Maybe some tips a video on pull ups would be great as I know you are great at them!
Me sat here with a hip injury because I did my easy runs as PB pace 😂 definitely learnt my lesson now 😩
Loved this video!! How long do these aerobic runs need to be? Do they need to be 30min+?
Might be my favorite Lucy D thumbnail so far
What’s the plan for fixing the calves? Mine are also trash
Love your videos! Fun, great tips and always rad sunglasses!!!
Such a beneficial video 👏 exactly what I needed to hear ❤

Do you think running on snow and ice is safe? 🤔
