I had a similar situation and I found out I was hyperventilating. I noticed something was wrong when a short bit of jogging would leave me breathing at my max rate. I didn't need that much oxygen. I started regulating my breathing similar to my walk pace. I walked, saw what was natural for me, then I jogged and consciously controlled my breathing to be slightly faster than my walking. I only allowed myself to breath faster when I started to feel out of breath. This worked for me. It seemed I had a habit that if I could feel my heart beating fast, I wanted to breath faster. Now that I've been doing this for a few months, I've noticed my breathing and heart rate are no longer directly linked. I now breath when I feel like I need to breath, not just because my heart needs to pump the oxygen more.

As a multiple 100k ultramarathons finisher, I'm telling you that I bury my ego several times every race. Race with no ego, that's joy. Makes you feel greater when finish.

After 3 poor marathon finishes last year (hit the wall hard in all 3 and fizzled out hard), I found I was running too much in the grey zone. This year I have stayed in the easy zone (for my age per MAF method) and I've been able to easily jump back up to 40+ mile weeks in 6 weeks - I ran for 13 days in row and could have kept going - no injuries, and I'm recovering really well. My pace went form about 10 minutes per mile back down to just under 9 minutes per mile, and this year I plan to get a lot of 60-70+ mile weeks to be able to finally break 3 hours in the marathon.

Also, the 5 longest runs of your training block need to equal 160km minimum (36km,34km,32km,30km,28km - for example) and they need to contain inside them marathon pace segments (or slightly faster - I was training at 4:08-4:10 per km). Hill sprints also helped (15sec sprints with walk downs) and Lactate Threshold runs. I did 1 hill, 1 LT(between 30 and 50 minutes) and 1 Long run every week mixed in with 3 or 4 days of slower stuff. Peaked at around 100km a week.

@@craig2679 Depends on genetics. I had teammates in college that were distance runners that have been out of competition for over a decade and did no training until the few months leading up to the marathon. They started training at 8:00-8:15 pace cold turkey and within two months were already down below 7:00 mile pace for the duration. I, a former sprinter and jumper would need years to get that type of speed endurance, but I can still dunk a basketball at nearly 40 years old with no training. Everyone is different.

My HR used to spike whenever I ran up hill, and I used to have a hard time getting my HR down again. I fixed my problem by starting to run more hilly courses. My HR still rises going up hill, but I get it back down without problem. There is nothing wrong with walking up hills, but you might be in trouble if your next race is on a hilly course...

Very useful - thankyou! I've making a conscious effort not to go above a certain HR on my runs except towards the end and it has made my runs more pleasant and faster! I will try the 30 minute test next and see how it goes.

Thank you for your videos on low heart rate running - great for encourage my wife to keep going 🥳

Really clear, informative, and straight to the point. Loved it!

Years of anaerobic training has made my heart rate when running long distance go through the roof. Currently I’m on one of the best 4x100 teams in my state, but I can’t run a mile in under 8 minutes.

That's why I use treadmill... Nice steady pace, and controlled environment. Best for steady state cardio training.

Great tips James..... I used to use the Maff Method (Maffetone) and switched to 80/20 and back.... If you are new to this the Maff Method at first it felt like I was getting no where, but if you are experienced and want to run 50 miles its ideal training to run easier and further with out running at pace and getting faster and faster after 3 weeks / 3 months (all depending on what stage you are at) - at least with the 80/20 you get the opportunity to run fast (and forget your HR) on the 20% days

Hey guys, just wanted to share my tip It used to be difficult to keep my heart rate down, most of my runs were with average bpm 160 and I was not making any progress in running for a very long time. When I was "forcing" myself to run in around 140 by watching fitness tracker, it was very dull and boring and difficult to try to run in walking pace THEN I tried running with my mouth shut breathing only through nose and suddenly I was able to run with bpm around 140 naturally without actually feeling much tired🙂

One of my fav things to keep my breathing HR consistent is 10 steps out, 6 steps in, 6 steps out, 10 steps in while I'm Z2 ... it's kind of a take on 5:2 or 2:5 breathing... Remembering to breathe into your low back, belly... seems to steady the rate and also works as a form of running meditation to focus on the run and not the random negativity when you get longer and longer into the runs.

This needs time indexes, there's so much info covered in a short time. I'm like rewatching this again.. lol xD

I'm 60, and using Maffetone's simple formula would give me 120 as my MAF number, which would be pretty hard to stay below. But it's worth doing the tests to find your individual HR zone 2. My Garmin calculates my Lactate Threshold as 158 (after hard sessions of >20 minutes), which means the line between easy and aerobic is 141 bpm, a much more reasonable rate to stay below. This really is easy for me, as I can speak in full sentences when I'm running at or below 140 bpm. I've used the "last 20 minutes average of a 30-minute all-out effort" as another backup method to ascertain that I'm not delusional. The Easy/Aerobic line also comes out at 141 bpm. Start with the talk test...you may find you're comfortable at a significantly higher HR than 116!

Today I ran an easy long 13 mile run, was singing songs to see if I were at conversational pace, and chatted with a runner I saw with no problem. Unfortunately that run was an 12 m/m and mostly zone 3 with some zone 4 creeping in. I’ve always used the run walk run strategy. I’m trying hard to believe that 80% of my runs should be at 16-18 min/m pace but…. Also spending so much time looking at my watch to see if I’m in zones has added so much mental stress to running that it defeats the whole reason why I run - a stress reliever.

It would seem logical that your aerobic base is not there for that speed at two minutes so trying again at a slower pace after recovery would be your max if you manage the time at that pace. You can always try again a day later at a pace in between if you think you have something to give. But you are more than likely to know how much you have in the tank to give after the redo.

If you got a running watch most have a heart rate zone monitor on it

I don't get it. Low HR for training is good, because it means your energy is made aerobic. But increased HR from heat oder dehydration or a coffee in the morning has nothing to do with the aerobic energy production. So it stays aerobic on a certain pace, no matter what other factors increase the HR, doesn't it? In other words, I'm not leaving the aerobic zone and am building lactate just because it's 30°C outdoors while running. Building a endurance base does not mean training the heart, but the whole aerobic system. Or am I missing something here?

Im not convinced the part about running in hot weather is correct. Yes heart rate will increase but the perceived load will not. The heart rate is a way to monitor your load but you should be adjusting your zones for external factors like temperature. Since this is tricky to do, if its hot, just be a bit more flexible with the maximum heart rate you allow and pay more attention to your perceived load.

My LTHR is 173. Easy run?

The breath control trick doesn't reaaly work. When running outside, changing your breath pattern that way simply slows you down. So yes, the heart rate goes down, but not because of the breathing. You could (and, unless you are doing speed work, you should) simply run slower and get the same effect without any special breathing manipulation. On a treadmill, you can't slow down, and the effect looks a bit different: you heart rates does drop a bit after about half a minute of controlled breathing, but then, in another half minute or so, it goes right back up, and even overshoots a bit for a moment. The studies that reported that result were clearly done on people running on a treadmill, and then too with an artificially restricted time frame (academics often make that kind of data manipulations to tease out a publishable "positive" result out of null data...).

@WhyCan'tIRemainAnonymous?! I wish that had worked for me! I've got exercise induced asthma, so i MAINLY had issues while running. It wasn't unusual for the EMTs to follow me as I staggered around at the finish line of races. 😆 The nasal breathing and techniques were huge for me, they changed everything after decades of running, so just wanted to add my experience, where you said they don't really work. Best wishes!

If you're already doing nasal/diaphragm breathing on easy runs, then focusing on it when you notice your HR is a bit high may not have much of an effect. I imagine habitual mouth/chest breathers would find mindful breathing to significantly lower their HR. I've trained myself to habitually nose/diaphragm breathe, so I suppose my HR doesn't change much when I focus on it. BUT I can usually lower it quicker than simply by easing up on the pace by slowing the breathing down. (I'm usually looking at both HR and pace on my Garmin--though I suppose you could point out that my GPS might be fooling with somewhat flaky readings; on my bike; I can see that my HR goes down even while maintaining my power, which is a much more reliable measure of energy output).

Today I ran 3.2km (2 miles), my average pace was 6:30 mins / km, and average HR was 171 (peaked at 188). I think I am pushing a bit to hard :/ But this running 3mins / walking 1min cycles seems interesting.

@@user-zt5ln4uo3f I've done 10k run of quite a slow pace (8.2mins/km) with a short walking sessions (5mins running/1min walking/repeat) - I averaged 150-155bpm on 5mins mark, then it dropped to 120 after 1min of walking, and again risen to 155 after 5mins. Better, but it still needs a lot of work. And my right foot was a bit numb :D

Train hard days then alternate with Zone 2 runs.

People worry too much - yes - low heart rate training is great but if your heart rate is higher eg due to heat it’s okay, it’s still a zone 2 training for your muscles

Lancem111. Is hr zone 3 effective or overtraining.

@masuooo4452

I mean if its once in a while but zone 1 helps build your aerobic base so then when your tired you can still go fast at your regular pace without slowing down significantly.I only know this through the handful of videos i watched so take this with a grain of salt

What should be my MAF age is 35 should it be 145

I understand the importance of easy running, but I'm confused about something. Everyone recommends walking hills to keep your HR down, saying it's just as good an AEROBIC workout. But I'm training for hilly races where I want to be able to run the moderate hills. Don't I want to work my muscles etc in the way I'll be racing? I can't walk all the hills in training except for occasional hill reps, then expect my body to cruise up hills in races?

@akremamara8349

In your case, you can do specific hill repeats or even sprints to gain more strength while getting your body used to the extra effort on a hilly course. But I think keeping the easy runs really easy is necessary to build an aerobic endurance.

@davidsrunningvlog7679

I do a lot of hilly races too and follow the low heart rate approach. However, I do 80/20 training, keeping 80% of my runs easy and 20% hard. If you follow that approach, you would be walking the hills for 80% of your training, but on your hard days you'll be running them. That way you reap the benefits of both approaches.

If i walk 10min/km my hr is 100-110.but if i start to jog with 7-8min/km pace my hr is straight up to 170...

tried it for 2 years. saw little to no results. started hitting the training pushing through very uncomfortable sets and saw almost immediate results in 5-6 weeks. don't let this training make you think its ok to be lazy because that's exactly the only result you will get.

I just started low heart training and yes It's frustrating , I mean at 150bpm, I run at 8.2 Minute per km. I mean what the hell, I' not even obese or something and can run 5k and 10k too. My personal best for 5k is 27 minutes ( Started working out 3 months before)..I don't know this will improve or not..

I noticed that after taking Niacin Flash B3, my heart rate became between 130 and 139.

In summary 1) Don't run when its too hot 2) Stay hydrated by drinking every 20 minutes 3) Incorporate walking during your runs instead of taking a break 4) High altitudes increase your heart rate

i just dont know how to run with low heart rate run, maybe because i am a two times heart attack survivor,

I’m a 47yo male, 6’2 223lbs. I’ve been heart rate training for approximately two months or so 0:39 . I cannot seem to run more than 1 minute without my HR jumping into the 140s. My HR should be 133 or less. Any input??

Yeah I did the whole 180-my age thing= 133. Breathing is good. I’m able to talk.

Some numbers in case they're helpful for other people, I'm always looking for more stats about low HR training to work out what to expect: When I started running a year ago my "easy" pace was about 12.30mins/mile because it seemed slow to me and that's what other women's easy paces were. Now that I use a HR monitor my easy pace is about 15min/mile but my breathing is so much easier now - I didn't realise how laboured it was til I did the low HR thing - and I don't feel general inflammation the next day. But even getting to that point has been sloooooow. When I started low HR running I was alternating 30 seconds run/walk at 4mph. Now I can run about 10mins at 4mph before a walk break. This is with about 4 hours running a week over the last 5 months. I imagine - I hope! - you would improve more quickly with say 8 hours per week. The biggest help for me was taking an iron supplement tbh, I saw an overnight improvement once I finally got that sorted. Definitely check your iron, sodium, and other levels :-) Also for the record I calculate my easy pace at 80% of my max HR, which triangulates with my easy breathing. I would never be able to do this using my Maffetone HR, that's way too low for me.

@R.a.p.h.a.e.l.a

One of the reasons I can't take Maffetone seriously is because he uses the same formula for men and women even though women naturally have a higher heart rate than men. And that isn't even getting into the fact that even among the same sex, everyone's an individual. I'm sure Maf is a great method for those who happen to have the right physiology, but for others it's a Procrustean bed and would running into a frustrating chore. My Maf HR is so ridiculously low there's no way I could sustain any kind of running gait with it, not even a grindingly slow downhill jog. But I can keep going for what feels like forever at an average HR 25 beats higher!

Is it possible to run without a good cup of coffee first 🤔...?

watching this smoking a vape and drinking coffee about to go out on a run at 12:00 on a hottest weekend in recent memory lol

The start of this video explains why my heart rate reaches 100 bpm while taking my morning shower

Meh there are useful advice in this video but I think it's way too much centered around heart rate. Ie, yes you want to walk up the hills if you want to stay in a given zone but because it's more work and you're going above your first lactate threshold, not to keep your heart rate low for the sake of keeping your heart rate low. Drinking coffee doesn't change your physical exertion, only your heart rate. What I mean by that is if you're using heart rate as a surrogate/proxy to how much you stress your nervous system you might be missing out on something. I would rather suggest learning how to use RPE and base intensities on that only, heart rate might be used as a control to stay within a given zone, but it's not the be all end all a lot of people make of it. I think a lot of research still has to be done in this area, ie the correlation between lactate levels and heart rate at moderate intensities

yeah.....hot run faster with low HR.....slow down is not running faster method....also walking is not running.....

why are you running when you could walking

I don't like negative comments but the info on hydration is not good. No one needs to drink that much during any run, let alone a slow run. Some proper research should be done on hydration. Ross Tucker does a great podcast called the science of sport in which he dispels the myths around hydration and shows that you're actually endangering yourself by drinking too much.

@galathilion

Жыл бұрын

These numbers are within the recommendations in the scientific literature (even lower). Dangers come from drinking higher amounts, for several hours, and without electrolytes (hiponatremia). Saying that these recommendations are dangerous is just false. Dehydration will decrease performance quickly, and could easily kill you too. I don't see how drinking 300-600ml an hour for runs over 1h would do the same.
