EP 113 - ZONE 2 VS HIIT WAS SETTLED IN THE 1940s. CAN WE MOVE ON?

Zone 2 or HIIT? Steve Magness says coaches sorted that out in the 1940s, and everything since is someone trying to sell you a shiny box.

Courtney and Liam read the post, then get into who's on the hook when a run club gets too big, Courtney stuck in one gear (second at Kirra parkrun, listed as "Unknown"), a 202cm footballer running 2K in 6:00 in Volmeros, the HYROX cruise, and racing the Gold Coast tram. Plus: would you have stopped for Jonny Brownlee?

Lots of easy, some moderate, a bit of hard. No zone-two sermon.

Tell us in the comments: Run clubs: if someone gets hurt, is it on the club or on the runner?
