Why Do I Need Training Zones?
There are times of year for training and there are times for playing. If you are thinking of training this spring, then start with our Time Trial designed to reveal your current fitness, help establish a reasonable goal, and create up-to-date training zones for training smarter over the next few months.
FastForward athletes use Training Zones to help remove the guesswork as we efficiently prepare to run our best on Race Day. By learning our current Zones based on pace/mile, heart rate, and/ or perceived effort we are able to train at the right intensity levels and develop muscle endurance, stamina, and lactate tolerance… which means getting stronger, going longer and running faster!
At the FastForward 4-Miler you’ll receive four specific Training Zones, with a pace range for each. For example, for Zone 2 workouts you’ll want to run at a pace between 9:45 – 10:15 per mile. You might use a ‘speed & distance’ watch to tell you how fast your running at all times, or head to the track and run a few laps until you settle in to about a 2:30 lap. Note how that “feels” and possibly the corresponding heart rate, and then head off the track onto surrounding paths or trails and see if you can maintain that effort level.
FastForward Training Programs come with the workout schedules and coaching to help you combine these Zones over 3-5 runs per week in order to best prepare for your running and triathlon goals this season.
