Zone 2 cardio changed how I train — an 8 week log
I kept my heart rate at 60-70% of max on every easy run for eight weeks. Resting heart rate dropped 6 bpm, recovery improved, and my hard interval sessions got noticeably stronger. Slow really is fast when you are building an aerobic base.

Bracing properly was the single change that let me deadlift again after a disc issue. Great write-up.
This is exactly the reminder I needed — I keep programme hopping every four weeks and wonder why nothing moves.
