@annabelleronnfeldt: Run slow, to run fast 🏃 These times are not a before or after. One is taken from my Sunday slow, low heart rate runs, and the other, my 10km time trial yesterday. I'm sure you've heard the phrase you have to run slow to run fast, but what does that actually mean? By incorporating low heart rate runs into your training, you are making your body more efficient and increasing your aerobic capacity. Training in 'Zone 2' (60-70% of max HR), makes oxygen the prime driver of energy production and improves mitochondrial function. If marathon training has taught me anything, it's how important these runs are. They should take up most of your training. If your body is more efficient, it's going to be way more effective at getting oxygen to the muscles and preventing fatigue on those faster runs, allowing you to go harder & faster for longer. If you're having trouble running slow and keeping a low heart rate, stop and walk for a bit until it drops back down, then pick up a run again. I still do this sometimes! No matter how frustrating it may be, be patient and trust the process 🤞#marathontraining #hybridathlete #hybridtraining
