How to Keep Your Heart Rate Down So You Can Run for Longer

This has always been a big issue for me. My medication increases heart rate so I’m idling at 100-115bpm just casually moving around. When I was really training seriously if I lost control of my breathing the run quality was over, I could never get the rate back down without actually just walking

I've been breathing that way for a while, and it works. When I walk, I try to keep a fast pace for one or two minutes. After that, I can run better. My heart rate average is between 159 and 161. But before doing your method, the heart rate was in the 170-175, and l was tired. Thanks.

Great tips as always

I'm going to try this. I introduced the cadence tips from the previous video when I had long hills to do and it certainly makes difference. When I got to the top of the hill I was smiling and thought to myself thank you Holly 😊

I think your point was part of the problem I had when I started running a few years ago without having an aerobic base like I have today from other things.
I've been told to push myself really hard during the run intervals and it was too much for me - I had to walk really slow to catch my breath.
Now that I'm between surgeries and not allowed to do too intense stuff, I'm actually finding myself enjoying the treadmill by doing really fast walks, the ones like you've shoes where you actually need to swing your arms to keep up the pace. It's nice that it's going well.
I always tell myself everything you're teaching: "hips forward, don't arch, inhale exhale" 😅 It works!
So yes - I think maybe people need to slow down and keep it steady in the beginning.

Since applying focus on cadence I’ve finally escaped that constant threshold zone and my watch has been registering mostly aerobic over the course of 4-6 miles. Thanks for your videos!

I don’t even run anymore, but I watch because you explain things so well!

This is great. I have been thinking it must be me, too old or something, as I see other runners not struggling at all. I will incorporate all the recommendations: POSE, hips, breathing, slower run, faster walk. Thank You

Loved the content and your energy! Thanks Holly!
