Zone 2 running gets talked about like it’s the magic bullet for weight loss. It’s often labeled the “fat-burning zone,” and runners everywhere are logging easy miles expecting the pounds to just melt away. But here’s the truth: Zone 2 training is amazing, but not for the reasons you’ve been told. In this week’s episode of the Running Lean Podcast—What Zone 2 Running Really Does (and Doesn’t) Do for Fat Loss—I’m breaking down the myths, clarifying the physiology, and explaining what Zone 2 actually does for your endurance, your metabolism, and your ability to tap into fat as fuel. I’ll also clear up what it doesn’t do—especially when it comes to changing your body composition. If you’ve ever wondered whether Zone 2 is really the key to fat loss, or if those easy runs are worth your time, you won’t want to miss this one.
The post 298. What Zone 2 Running Really Does (and Doesn’t) Do for Fat Loss appeared first on Running Lean with Patrick McGilvray.
