The Training Mistake Nobody Talks About

Strava tracks everything. But it never tells you what it means.

Most recreational runners spend 50–65% of their training time in what coaches call the grey zone — Zone 3, roughly 135–155 bpm. It's the pace that feels productive. Not too easy, not too hard. Just a good honest effort.

The problem: Zone 3 is too hard to recover from properly, but too easy to build real fitness. You accumulate fatigue without gaining much. You work hard and go nowhere. It's the reason most runners plateau.

Strava won't flag this. Your HR graphs are right there in the app — but it never tells you that 62% of your runs are in the wrong zone, or that this is why you haven't improved in two years.

The Fix: Polarised Training

🟢80% genuinely easy — Zone 1–2, conversational pace. Slower than feels right.
🔴20% genuinely hard — Zone 4–5, tempo runs, hill repeats, intervals.
Almost nothing in between. The grey zone is the enemy.
