I haven't been following your Zone 2 adventures... so hopefully it's not too annoying if I ask what you've been struggling with? Is it that you want to go faster, or slower, or the length of time running? The tighter watch is genius! I don't know why they don't have an absolute abundance of holes, especially since the tightness can make a difference on the data it collects.

All good. Ask away :)
What am I struggling with, big picture?
I want to be able to run faster and for longer while also keeping my heart rate low. But I think I probably just need to keep doing more consistent running - which B now has me onto.
Is low heart rate running something you've playing with much, Adam?
I think for me I'm just interesting in running for longer. I've always been able to run fast... but 5K just feels so far for me and while I have done 10Ks in the past, that seems like a huge distance to me now.
Oh. Interesting! Our sense of 'long' seems to be different. Because when you say run long I'm thinking ultra marathon (longer than 42.2km) not 5k. Perception - fascinating.
And I get you. I have a top end speed while sprinting that still surprises me but with my current run fitness 5k feels okay but 10k? Too far for me to currently run easily.
I think you just have to be willing to build slowly. Lay the bricks, one at a time.
