Day 1 of my zone 2 training.  @mw is it normal to keep the same hr the entire time with a constant pace and incline (resistance)?   I actually dialed it up a bit at the end because my hr was starting to drop.

I'm 49, and I think my max hr is 190.  it gets in the 180s when I'm really going at it but haven't seen it higher.  A number of sites stated Z2 to be between 60-70%, and Matt's site put zone 1 at 60%, so that's what I used.  Between 114 and 133.

also, read a good determinant is if you can do a labored conversational pace.  I took a couple calls while doing it and they definitely could tell I was exercising.  How are you measuring your own z2?

Are you sure 125 bpm is your correct zone2? The pace seems too slow to me. More like a zone1. How did you tested your max HR?

1) stop using a watch to measure active HR. Get a polar H10
2) yes absolutely normal. If it was progressively increasing that wouldn’t be Z2. It SHOULD be steady state with parameters unchanged 

That’s a solid Z2 session 💯

awesome confirmation I'm not a weirdo, thank you!

I find the same thing when I’m doing steady state training, towards the end I have to dial it up to keep my HR steady. It’s like I’ve finally hit a groove way after my brain is done with the whole thing lol

Yep, that was it.  All the time on a treadmill 4mph at 5 degree incline.   I’m trying to increase my base aerobic capacity to help when competing in tennis matches at late stages beyond 60 minutes of play.

1h30 in zone 2 is a long long run! Congrats!
