Low heart rate training can work well for athletes of all levels (and ages), from beginners to advanced. In the episode we take a deep dive into Low Heart Rate Training with a detailed guide and cover: 1. What is low heart rate training? / Why? 2. How to train with a low heart rate? 3. How to overcome frustrations / challenges with low HR training? 4. The 10 common mistakes with low HR training 5. How much zone 2 training is right for you? 6. When and how to add speedwork? This episode is also available as full video here: https://youtu.be/taO8kKsx448 This is going to be a different episode than normal and I honestly don’t know if this episode is going to work well in audio format. Let me explain. Recently I (Floris Gierman) recorded a 35 minute video of a low heart rate training guide. The only thing is that I recorded this video, while running a sub 3 hour marathon on a running track. I did use an external mic, however you do hear me huffing and puffing from time to time, because I’m running an average pace of 6:45 min / mile, so 4:12 min / km for 26.2 miles / 42.2km.
