Anyone starting from the couch just needs to start. I started by just pursuing a goal of "run a mile without stopping", then 2, etc.

I've messed with zone 2 a bit and read a fair amount about it. If it gets you out there moving consistently: great. The best workout plan is the one you do. But otherwise I really think it's more of an optimization strategy for people who are trying to seriously increase their miles per week, and are pairing it with higher-intensity runs and/or weight training.
