Just on pace, I am using HR and can cruise along in zone 2 no problems until i hit a hill and my area has a few big hills. I can’t keep in Zone 2 up the hill no matter how I slow down unless I walk – the hills are pretty steep. Also my run from home starts with a big down hill which is fine in zone 1 but after 5 minutues when a foundation run switches to zone 2, I have to really go fast to get to zone 2 and then slow down again when it flattens – is this what I should be doing?

I have ordered a stryd so will switch to power when it comes and then I suppose it will be easier to maintain power – but I am assuming that will mean that my heart rate is probably still going up out of zone 2.

Appreciate your thoughts.
