CAUTION ‼️ If you use training zones to guide your training - the preset or algorithmic zones on your wearable device may not be accurate.
Why does this matter? If I listened to my watch instead of my effort, I would have done this zone 2 run far slower than what I could and should do. You’d be basing your training off metrics that are not going to deliver the desired training stimulus.
If you’re someone who likes to utilize data and metrics to guide your training, you should get a VO2max test (with ) to get your true zones dialed in.
