    Test Don't Guess? and What happens if you leave Zone 2?
    Join us in this episode as we tackle two thought-provoking listener questions. First up: the myth that you must undergo lab or physiological testing to effectively train. We break down the various testing options and offer insights into what to consider if you're contemplating physiological testing. Next, we delve into the topic of rigid zone-2 or endurance training—exploring whether leaving the zone momentarily jeopardizes the benefits.
