Training Zone Benefits

Zone 1-2: Building Base

Low intensity training builds aerobic base, improves fat metabolism, and promotes recovery. Ideal for long, easy workouts.

Zone 3: Aerobic Development

Improves cardiovascular efficiency and aerobic capacity. Good for tempo runs and moderate-intensity sessions.

Zone 4: Lactate Threshold

Training at or near lactate threshold improves your ability to sustain hard efforts. Use for interval training.

Zone 5: VO2 Max

Maximum effort training increases peak power and VO2 max. Used sparingly for short, intense intervals.
