"Zones"

Here is what I will be referring to as far as zone intensity for the weeks to come;

  • Zone 1 is what I like to call "Tra~la~la", meaning a pace at which you can jog and sing at the same time.  This is your recovery pace, you can always come back to this point if you need a break. 
  • Zone 2 is our "Chatty" pace, it is comfortable and you can carry on a conversation, but if you are still singing then you're not pushing hard enough for this zone.  If you hit the target on these runs you will be successfully building up your aerobic capacity. 
  • Zone 3 is our "Kung Fu" pace in which we can only manage choppy sentences.  The goal in this zone is to push moderately hard, but sustain the pace for a long period of time.
As you add minutes and reach your target zone, the Racing possibilites are endless Divas!!!
