Physically it is challenging because it is a not walking pace but also does not provide a RUNNING feeling like a workout pace. Finding the sweet spot with your feet takes practice and may feel like your aren’t really moving. One tip to find zone 2, (without a watch to tell you) if you are able to have a full on conversation without taking deep breaths, you are in the right zone.
