Slow Down

One of the great things of low heart rate training is being able to relax, set ego aside (it will be firmly set aside on the very first run) and actually experience the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of running that are so often missed in the quest for more and faster. Running becomes a joy again instead of simply a challenge to past performances. Of course the side benefit is eventual faster times. Or even flipped around - if the main reason someone chooses to focus on purely the physical they will soon find the added benefits that go along with a slower pace. It's a win/win.

Peace,
Eric
