I just learned about this zone1 zone2 type of stuff and I am curious how often do you train in like zone1 or zone 2, etc. If I train in zone1 for a while will I notice that my avg speed gets faster? It was like my first time running with my heart rate that low and my pace was really really slow.
I spend most of my time in zones 1 and 2, although it depends somewhat on which training phase I'm in (base, building, etc.)
Yes, your average speed will get faster if you train consistently and patiently in those zones. This article by Mark Allen deals with this question. It made a profound impression on me when I first read it.
