Take Control of Your Training
Zone 2 helps you create personalized, structured training plans tailored to your goals. A clear, progressive approach that you control.
Why Zone 2?
Many runners still plan their workouts in Excel spreadsheets or on paper.
Zone 2 offers an interactive and structured alternative, designed for those who want to track their progress methodically.
Zone 2 isn't a plan generator, it's your smart training companion that evolves with you.
A Structure Designed for Progression
Think in Blocks, Progress Intelligently
Zone 2 is based on structured periodization. Each week plays a specific role in your progression.
This method helps balance training load and optimize performance.
Recovery
A light intensity week focused on rest and active recovery
Development
A high-load week designed to improve endurance, speed, or strength
Maintain
A balanced week that maintains fitness without excessive stress
Reduced
A week with reduced volume to prevent burnout and allow adaptation
Taper
A progressive reduction in workout volume before a race
Race
Competition week including the race and recovery
