You are the FIRST video that mentioned meds being involved. I'm a fit healthy person with high blood pressure, due to a broken circadian rhythm. I'm on 2 meds. All of the zone 2 videos I've watched - MANY- never mention the numerous reasons you mentioned why their formulas might not be accurate for people. It can make people feel like THEY are the failure, when it's the cookie cutter formulas failing them. Thank you!
I commented last week that I was going to do a 12 hour loop race and feeling worried about it. Well I survived and did 45 miles! It was an amazing experience and I met so many wonderful people! Thank you
That’s fantastic!!!
AMAZING! So proud. Thanks for updating us.
Congratulations!!!
Great video, nice simple and sensible information.
Camp 2 - don’t care about the numbers. I do set myself challenges and push myself to do hill runs, fartlek and intervals. I run for pleasure, my wellbeing and health. Some runs are nice and easy. Others, torturous and challenging. Ultimately, I love to run.
The video editor is doing a good job.
Thank you, Holly. Have a great week.
Thank you for sharing! I'm glad you're liking his edits! Way better than mine :)
What a fantastic video Holly!!! I love all of your episodes but this one resonates with me so much! Thank you!!
I’m so glad!!! Thanks for watching.
❤❤❤❤❤Thank you, Holly! This is awesome - I've been wondering how to best use the feedback that Garmin provides; you've offered the key. Thank you!

But now Elated to find u in ur own channel
Plzzzzzzzzzzzz...make more follow along videos in ur channel ....U dont know how many like me get benefited by ur vlogs
Thanks holly, this was exactly the video I needed. I know that my heart rate is pretty high in general and get super frustrated because I believe that if you train a lot, this should improve, but for me it always stays the same. If I go off of how I feel during a run I can run a lot faster, but my heart rate is so high. Your video showed me that it is okay to forget about all the numbers for a while and try to go listen to my body a lot more
I’m training for a 5k, and am having such trouble staying in zone 2. There are a lot of hills where I live, so I’d have to be walking half the time to keep my hr down. So, I’m doing some runs where I run how I want to (which ends up zoned 3 and 4), and some where I attempt to keep my hr down (ends up zone 2 and 3). When I walk the dogs, I’m all zone 1 and 2, but I can’t run slow enough on hills to keep stay in zone 2.
Thank you Holly for sharing your knowledge with us!
You bet!
This was an awesome and very informative video, Holly. Thank you!
So glad it helped!
Hi Holly great content, I've been struggling with my easy runs because i live in a tropical country and my heart rate goes up quicker. If i want to stay in the low 140s I'd have to walk and shuffle, I've tried to do training by heart rate but i feel like I'm doomed with my weather conditions. I always try to run after the sun sets or when it's not that hot. Lately I've been doing my runs at the gym on the treadmill but I don't really like it tbh. Should i just ignore heart rate and go by feel or what do you recommend?
Hey good question! I should've mentioned that of course we can adapt to all conditions - it just feels rough when we first get into that weather. I would say go off of feel and maybe just start with some solid power walks outside and true runs inside. Mix it up?
@@gofarsogood thank you! I just get a little frustrated when i have to run longer than 30 min and my heart rate gets too high. Thanks again for the great content!
Do you look at your HR when you are running or do you run by pace?
@@littleboyblue2323 always heart rate, i don't really care about pace
@@jhiaaa That's what I love to hear. I know it's hard to run at a low heart rate, but you have to think big picture, the more you run at that low heart rate the more aerobic endurance you build. I like to run by HR because when you run by feel you can't be certain you are running in your desired HR range. I thought for many years I was running easy because it FELT easy, but it turned out I was running WAY too hard. If it feels really uncomfortable running in Zone 2 that's okay, because if you have never trained that part of your aerobic fitness it's going to be hard. Just know that eventually it gets better. I have been using low heart rate training for the last 9 months and have brought my pace down on my easy runs by about 3 minutes per mile. The other thing you want to do is some speed work. This includes intervals at 200M, 400M, 800M and even mile distance with short breaks in between each repetition. The speed work will help the mitochondria you produced while running in zone 2 to be more efficient and stronger and will allow you to run faster at a lower heart rate. I hope this was helpful.
