Zone 2 running is a popular method of endurance training. In this video, I explain what Zone 2 training means, how to think about rate on easy runs and practical applications of this philosophy. I also run in the Brooks Ghost Max 2 and give some quick thoughts on the shoe.
My shoes in todays' video were the Brooks Ghost Max 2. If you're going to buy a new shoe, use my Running Warehouse links to support the channel: https://www.runningwarehouse.com/Brooks_Ghost_Max_2/descpage-BR2GMM3.html?from=supwell
