Caffeine is of course a drug addiction
Foot noise is too loud to listen
For me is the opposite ; I need to work fast to be at 140bpm… it is moderate not easy effort.
Thank you! I had similar doubts and you spoke of them. I feel good now. I will keep training and be patient with the growth 🙂
Really enjoy your videos! How does my cardiac drift fit into low heart rate training? It can drift up 10-20 beats per minute during a 1-2 hour training.
Amazing video for my motivation. I have always been a “need to go fast” runner, and I improved at a very slow rate. I am post children, and it sounds like forcing myself to slow down is the answer to improving my running as I ease back in to it.
Truly the greatest quality content
Really great and balanced information. Thanks!
Very much looking forward to trying low HR training after 2 years off running. This was such an informative video. Thanks Floris
This video is fantastic. Thank you 😊
What school in Irvine lets you run on their track. In Huntington Beac that is a no-no.
Im sure you will laugh at me? I use to have a 55 BPM at rest all the time but now days, its mostly in the 75-80s for some reason? If I walk for 2 miles, its close to 100. When I do run 3-4 miles, I feel great but then it takes me "forever" to get back to my resting heart rate . How can I get back to lower resting heart rate quicker?
but why would anyone want to run that long on a track when trails exist?
Amazing. I would have gone mad running 100+ times around a track.
So after the 30-40% drop off week what percent of your normal training volume do you do?
A huge problem I had with this method is when I started running slower to lower the heart rate, my calves, ankles, and feet started fatiguing very fast. When I run at my normal pace I don't experience this fatigue in the lower legs and I am able to start and finish my 5K's at a much faster speed. When doing low heart rate my calves completely give up like 5 minutes into the run and I started noticing my left foot going numb. Any one else had a similar experience or advice?
Thanks you, your videos is very impressive technical, by the way , i've a sinus allergic that nose some little clogs , then sometimes with aerobic running zone , i must open up the mouth to breathing very slowly, is it wrong with my habit for MAF Training??
Wow, how did I randomly come across my neighbor….never knew you were a long distance runner. I need to get some tips from you. I live the street over from you on the corner.
Talking and holding the cam.. Big respect, man
How many times a week should you do this type of training
Hills mannn, hills are killer!
great information packed into your run — wow — great and being grateful having found this !
I really wonder whether I could do this with a kind of strong discipline and all the challenges I have to face in my professional life which makes it a bit harder to keep a very even training cycle over months.
Also the climate in Northern Germany is not making things easier with sometimes quite cold weather during the winter season ( not to mention ice and snow which can also be limiting factors ).
But all this apart — I would love to find out if i could top my best running form I had in my life when I was 24 – 27 I guess.
Never tried to run a marathon, but my 10 – 20 km pace was quite good ( I remember I could do approx. 10km in 35min, and these were not even totally flat, and so 20 was probably not much more than twice as much.
But after a busy professional life and quite some injuries I assume that being as fast now with 48 is almost undoable…
Though — really I would love to try the long run until summer or even fall of 2024 and then have some proper test or even a half marathon for myself.
Right now I am relatively fit I would say , running and cycling as well several times a week, but not on a genuine plan or proper training —
just as time allows and according to my own feelings ( and probably quite often too fast ).
IT`s getting time to start with this new strategy I think and I want to build up my form and fitness level slowly over the next 6 – 7 months and see how it goes and then see if continuing with a good goal like a half marathon or perhaps a trail running event would be a good thing for me .
Thanks for the information and the presentation as well !!
I get so annoyed because when I try to maintain HR zone 2 I have to go about 11-minute pace. 9-minute pace seems very easy for me but my watch says that it's mid-zone 3. My 11-minute pace cadence is about 170 at that pace which keeps my HR higher. I don't want to slow my cadence at slow speeds because it slows it for high speeds as well. How do I stay in HR zone 2 with a fast cadence?
Also my knees hurt when I go slow but not when I go fast. Why is that? I have bad knees in general, but why is slow more painful?
Question: I find it really Impossible to keep steady HR while trail running in the mountainous region were I live. How does Zone 2 come into this scenario?
Stupid question probably but when they say “you should be able to speak while you’re running” does it mean like him or even easier? Like, he definitely can speak but should it be even easier for me when I run in zone 2, or is he in a zone higher than 2? If I make any sense
Imagine running a sub 3hr marathon in zone 2!! I go in to zone 3 after about 300 metres at any pace 🙃 but I've been walking my entire life and that hasn't enabled me to run in zone 2 yet after 45 years
Your cadence is so good 😢
31 year old male. Triathlete for about 2 years. Anywhere from 53 to 65 bpm.
Stuff of legend – making a sub 3 hour marathon look like a casual walk in the park whilst delivering the most comprehensive, evidence based video on zone 2 training. Amazing!
I loved the sprinkling of Buddhist thoughts in there
This is legit amazing. 3hr what chatting the whole time. Mind blown
Floris, a question: training volume, what do we mean by that? Time or distance? I've been increasing my distance for 10% per week, resulting in a higher increase in time.
Thanks!
Six months ago, I watched this for the first time.
My mile was about 21:30.
Five and a half months later, my mile is down to about 17:00. I am inching closer to needing to run to get my hr into zone.
Thanks, Floris.
Instead of throwing away your used shoes. Can I please have the?
Am happy I stumbled onto your acc. Iam a dancer I ran half a marathon 1.58.35 secs.
I just go out there and run but sometimes I have this pain besides the outside of my knees and now I have pain in my left calf muscles.
I would really like to think it's just because it's a different used muscle group but I would like some advice. I can't do it regularly because I work full time and can only run when am free
Is the way you’re speaking in the video about how we should/can sound and still consider ourselves “conversational pace”? I find when I try to be conversational I am still a bit breathy – a lot of resources seem to say if you were on the phone with someone, if they could tell you’re exercising then you’re not at a conversational pace. That seems impossible to me, but I can run at the type of conversation you are speaking at. So a sentence comes out, deeper breath, another sentence, deeper breath. I’m breathy, but not at that breath every other word feeling.
Great info thanks.
Ja oke nu snap ik het. Thanks
your easy pace is much faster than my interval pace OMG
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Appreciate a lot. Hoping to implement the learning..😇
I cannot believe he gave this well organized video lecture WHILE RUNNING a marathon, and ON A TRACK the whole time 😭😭😭
Brilliant. I have so much to learn & you gave so much advise that I now feel happier running slower in zone 2. Thankyou 😀
A hugely inspiring video. Wish I'd known about low heart rate training 35 years ago. At 53, I started training this way and experienced the frustrations of having to walk for periods, as well as seeing my performance and VO2 levels reduce on my Garmin watch. However, slowly, things are beginning to turn around. I am running faster at the same heart rate and feeling better and better. I am trusting the process and feeling excited to see where this takes me.
