As for Zone 2 training sessions, for an untrained person the starting time of about 30 minutes is indeed positive. However, the adaptive zone recommended once you’re trained is about 45 minutes with the maximum duration being 90. Depending on the goals, practitioners advise different durations: about 3-5 hours a week for fitness and more for those training for competitive events or improving metabolic fitness.

Do you need 3 zone-2 sessions to see progress even for a totally untrained individual?
