I am a 58-year-old sprint to 70.3 triathlete. Last year, I had chemo for Mantle Cell Lymphoma. Prior to chemo, my VO2 max was 38, dropped to 24, and is now 34 (per Apple Watch) four months post-chemo. I have been looking into more Zone 2 training research, but to stay in Zone 2, I need to run at 15 min/mile pace. My goal is a 24 min 5k, but I just completed it in 27 min during my recent sprint triathlon. It is actually difficult for me (mentally) to run a 15 min/mile pace. How can I adjust my training to reach my goal?
I'm training for a marathon and I'm a beginner. On my first run, my coach told me to do a run with an average pace of 8:07/km for 50 minutes. She called it an "aerobic run" but asked me to ignore my heart rate and focus on pace. What do you suspect she is doing?
