113. Podcast Episode 102: Melody Bateman - The Art of 80/20 Running and Zone 2 Training
In this episode, we welcome back Melody Bateman, a runner, ultra runner, and run coach, who shares insights on zone 2 training and 80/20 running. Melody debunks the misconception that "harder is better" and highlights the benefits of zone 2 training for overall health and fitness.
In the second part, we explore the art of 80/20 running, where Melody explains the balance between easy and hard workouts. Surprisingly, starting with a training split like 90/10 or 95/5 can be more effective for building a solid foundation. We also hear Stine's personal experience with Melody's coaching and how the 80/20 approach transformed her training journey.
Tune in to unravel the science behind these training methods and optimize your own fitness routine.
