Bro, mine is zone 2 ?
Tomorrow morning will try get up n run again to clock maybe 8km plus

You will know whether you're in Zone 2 or not.

When you run, you'll feel no need to breathe so difficult one and still can talked and when you end, you feel you still can go further, still have stamina but only thing which can stopped you is only your legs.

For new runners to last 1.5 hour continuous is likely zone 2. Maybe last km could creep to zone 3.
Not easy to zone 3 for 1.5 hours for new runners.

You tried 1 day to check what is your normal walking pace.

Your 10.5 minutes per km pace should be faster than your normal walking pace.

10.5 pace is definitely your easy pace.

My walking pace in the Sunday walk is 4km to 5km per hour.

Left about 3 weeks to go for 10km run event...
Hopefully I am ok to run.

My walking pace in the Sunday walk is 4km to 5km per hour.

So your easy pace is 10.5min per km which is 5.7km per hour faster than your walking pace unless you brisk walking

feel that apple watch's zone 2 is different from what I "feel"

anyone experienced the same?

Don't have a Apple watch. But for any watches, be it Garmin, polar, Coros, if your just key in your age, and set the zoning based on MaxHr most likely the zones are not accurate.
Just base on rpe , easy, breath thru nose, and have a conversation with a companion.

Marathon r said to b bad for the heart
Simi endurance simi simi
Ask the heart can take it or not first

Today morning ran 2km then started to drizzle, turned around chiong back. End up only ran 27 mins and rain didn't get heavier...

But legs are surprisingly sore for just a 4km run. Had done some resistance training for legs but doesn't seem enough.

I think its time to stop training purely Zone 2 and add some intervals liao. Pure Zone 2 running too comfortable until dont want to run any faster

Ya, not for everyone. If in doubt, consult doctor before attempting any rigorous training.

Need to seek China shoes expert opinion here on Xstep or 特步, coz I find the models rather confusing. I am looking for a race day shoes for the SCSM in December. So preferably a Vaporfly equivalent. Last year I used the Vaporfly NExt%2 so am now on the look out if Nike would ever repeat the same outlet sales for Vaporfly 3. I got mine Next2 for under $110.
So am now doing homework for alternative on China shoes. And expand my search beyond Qiaodan.

Xstep has several carbon plated models, what's the difference between the 160X, 260X and 360X? It seems the 160X might be the race day shoes, especially the pro version? Then what are 260X or360X? Are they plated trainers companion like Saucony Speed 4 to the Endorphin pro4?

ALl the best. Need to walk then walk, no point setting a high bar for your first race. It'll be easier to break PB on your next race.

Techniques for down hill trail runners. Not.

Thks bro.
I just want to be able to complete 10km.
Don't need pb.
No setting any standard.

My body seems to adjust well to the easier running pace these few days. Quite theraupetic to run slowly actually.

You zone 2 for how many months to get this low ah?
