The Importance of Pacing Zones

Another fundamental component of the Gudiño Method is the use of clearly defined pacing zones.

Each training zone corresponds to a different physiological stimulus. Easy runs support aerobic development and recovery, steady runs strengthen endurance, while threshold and interval sessions improve the body’s ability to sustain higher intensities.

By training within these zones, runners can ensure that each workout serves a specific purpose.

This approach also helps prevent one of the most common mistakes in running: performing easy runs too fast and hard sessions too slow.
