As defined by Coggan, Zone 2 is:
- 56-75% of your threshold power
- 69-83% of your threshold heart rate
Description:
“All day” pace, or classic long slow distance (LSD) training. Sensation of leg effort/fatigue generally low, but may rise periodically to higher levels (e.g., when climbing). Concentration generally required to maintain effort only at highest end of range and/or during longer training sessions...Frequent (daily) training sessions of moderate duration (e.g., 2 h) at level 2 possible (provided dietary carbohydrate is adequate), but complete recovery from very long workouts may take more than 24 hs.
