Subject: RE: kenj mentor group - back for another great season! CLOSEDrquinn23 - 2013-04-26 7:11 AM Happy Friday, everyone! I had a great day of training yesterday and a really tough swim this morning, but it was also great. For those of you who do heart rate zone training I have a question--I am now into the phase of my training where there is some zone 4 work thrown in the bike and run. I am having trouble getting my heart rate that high on the run, as it seems my legs hit their limit before my heart rate does. My workouts have called for both a 5 minute surge from zone 2 to zone 4, and 3 x 3min repeats at zone 4 with a 1 minute recovery. I am barely making it out of zone 2! On the repeats, I did reach my highest HR on the 3rd one, but it was still in zone 3. Again, I can't really seem to get my legs to go faster. Has anyone experienced this or have any input? Thanks! Maybe use a treadmill to make your legs turn over faster and see what happens? Not sure I can add to what everyone already mentioned. I have noticed that my comfort zone has become even more entrenched with all of the long zone 1/2 workouts. I really have to stay focused to keep my HR up on both bike and run or it will fall back down to my "comfort zone" saying that I really like that spot as I can completely zone out!
