ROCK THE JOG
heart training for life
🏃♀️ Ready to rock the jog and strengthen your heart, both physically and spiritually, through Zone 2 training while diving into what the Bible says about the heart? 🙌
A beating heart tirelessly pumps life-giving blood through our veins, sustaining every cell, every tissue, every organ. It's a relentless conductor, with each beat it sustains us from our first breath to our last. But there's another heart, the spiritual heart . God desires our spiritual heart because it's the core of our being, the seat of our emotions, beliefs, and desires. Our spiritual heart governs our thoughts, motivations, and actions, shaping who we are and how we interact with the world around us. God wants our spiritual heart because it's where we have relationship with Him. Surrendering our hearts to God allows Him to lead and guide us, fulfilling His purpose for our lives and drawing us closer to Him in intimate fellowship.
Your physical heart:
Have you heard the buzz about heart rate training or the zone 2 sweet spot that builds a strong resilient heart? Or maybe you are ready to rethink fitness from no-pain-no-gain to the pace of grace and putting one foot in front of the other with forward movement, eyes up and a heart that beats. When you focus on easier, conversational-paced runs (Zone 2 training), it helps your body get used to jogging without feeling exhausted and dragging all day. This type of training 2 training also improves your endurance, helps burn fat, and reduces the risk of getting injured. Plus, it sets a strong foundation for becoming a stronger and healthier as a lifestyle.
Our 40-day program will guide you in Zone 2 training and how to figure out your heart rate zone, and FYI it is NOT 220 minus your age. Heart rate training can feel confusing and overwhelming. On one side, enthusiasts swear by heart rate zones for better workouts, while confusion reigns over which formula or device to trust.
When it comes to heart rate training, understanding the difference between using lactate threshold heart rate (LTHR) can be a game-changer. LTHR isn't just about hitting a target heart rate; it's about finding YOUR personalized sweet spot where your body can sustain effort without heading into the dreaded zone of burnout. It's like discovering your body's own secret language—a language that tells you when to slow down (80% easy jogging) or when to push harder (20% strength). While some heart rate training focuses on zones based on percentages of maximum heart rate, LTHR takes it a step further by focusing in on your individual physiological response to exercise. So, instead of blindly following a one-size-fits-all approach, you're tuning into the unique signals your body sends, paving the way for smarter, more effective fitness. The program will focus on 80% easy and 20% harder miles. Jogging by heart rate will personalize your training because you will jog with YOUR specific zones - so it will meet you exactly where you are at and give you the right amount of stress to get strong.

Pray about these scriptures as you decide wether this is for you:
“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phillipians 4: 6-8
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
"For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he". Proverbs 23:7
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6
