This is my VO2 max over the last few months. I’ve been in terrible shape for a long time, bet you can’t guess when I started running. I can’t believe how much more fun running is when you learn how to do it first!

    Kinda both? I’m so out of shape that at first staying in zone 2 was not an option at any speed. Now I can somewhat stay in zone 2-3 for a 2 mile run. Basically I was going slow and steady until too tired to keep my heart rate down, then I’m doing intervals of walking when my heart rate goes up to zone 4 or 5.

    I think later on that’s going to look like ending most runs with a few intervals and having at least 1 or 2 high intensity days a week in zone 3-4.
