What is zone 5 good for?
It’s often included in advanced HIIT routines or as a final push in a workout session. Zone 5 training helps clients maximize their speed, power, and overall performance, but because it places significant stress on the body, it’s generally followed by ample rest. Zone 5 Workout Example: Here’s a sample HIIT workout illustrating the zone 5 approach: Warm-up: 5 minutes light cardio (e. Intervals: 10-30 seconds all-out effort (e.Zone 5: very hard (90-100% of MHR) Zone 5 is very challenging. Talking is out of the question, and you may feel a burning sensation in your muscles as your body works to its limit. A heart rate monitor is essential for staying within the 90-100% range safely.With Zone 5, on the flip side, you only need a 10-20 minutes per week or short bursts of intensity during training to reap the benefits. If you’re like me, and as a Semper Stronger Squad member I bet you are, Zone 5 is a piece of cake.Zone 5 pushes your heart to pump at its maximum capacity, strengthening your heart muscle and improving your overall cardiovascular efficiency. This can enhance cardiac output (the amount of blood your heart pumps per minute) over time.Heart rate zone 5: 90–100% of HR Max Hitting this zone, however, will increase anaerobic endurance and increase speed and power. Working at this level challenges your heart and lungs to work at their maximum capacity, potentially improving cardiovascular fitness when balanced with sufficient recovery time.
Should I avoid zone 5?
For people who are not well-trained athletes, exercising in heart rate zone 5 (90-100% of your maximum heart rate) is not advisable, since this type of exercise could lead to dizziness, fainting, an increase in blood pressure and possibly even a heart attack or severe arrhythmia.

What are the benefits of Zone 5 running?
Zone 5 pushes your heart to pump at its maximum capacity, strengthening your heart muscle and improving your overall cardiovascular efficiency. This can enhance cardiac output (the amount of blood your heart pumps per minute) over time. Zone 5 training pushes your heart rate above 96% of its maximum, typically through 3-5 minute intervals followed by recovery periods. This intensive approach, when properly executed, can significantly impact your longevity markers.Unlike Zone 2 training, too much of Zone 5 can have us backsliding in our training. If you “feel the burn” too much, you are likely to burn yourself out.
