After 2 years of running, my heart rate lowered by around 30 bpm!

I'm 35, after 2 months of diet, quitting alcohol and (fast) walking as an exercise, i don't have any measurements of heart rate, but today for the 1st time i switched from fast walking to an actual jog / run, both feet off the ground, slow pace (~4.5-5 miles per hour), i manage to go for 2 hours and a 9.3 miles.
And I actually could continue if i really wanted to push myself.

I never ever in my life ran anything more than 15 minutes and something like 1.5 mile, even as a teenager.

The human body is amazing, with a bit of effort, will and patience, damn you can really do things ^^ !

Another underrated tip: Find a relatively flat track or road to run on. If you have major hills, walk to stay in the correct HR zone.

My threshold pace became my easy pace in 2 years lol. From 6:30/km at 170bpm to 135bpm. Crazy to think about in the long term.

I’m 37 and work physical labour. My resting heart rate was 99, I quite smoking and started jogging within four days my heart rate is now 72

"how to decrease heart rate while running"
1. Practice decreasing heart rate
2. Don't run, walk.

Easy way to know if you're going to fast is to run with your mouth closed and only breathe through your nose. If breathing through your nose isn't enough you need to slow down to lower the heart rate. Over time you will be able to run faster with your mouth shut.

I have been struggling with this.. I am training for my first ever half marathon in June and during my fast runs I struggle with my HR getting to high

[jamessawyer]

Perfect.. Everyone is talking about Breathing while running and I know It can help but I was dying on my first mile when I first started and no breathing could help that... After a month of running, I wasn't dying anymore doing 5 miles run at a time..

I trained at the standard MAF heart rate which for me is 144 bpm for 9 or months.
At 144, my intial mile/min time was 13:30.
9 months later, my mile/min at 144 is 9:30...a 4 minute increase.
You will be more efficient, i suggest the MAF method as that worked for me.

I've been doing the run/walk for the last 3 weeks. I also try to do sprints once every week/10 days

I'm a believer. Thank you for validating. Awesome video!

Not just cardiovascular changes. What about running/biomechanical efficiency? As you run more, you will become better at running and more efficient. Same pace/output for less input.

Thank you for sharing! I have been running for years; this is one area I struggle with. It is hard for me to slow down because I focus so much on my time. 😭

I just reached 193 bpm today and I was not even sprinting.

New runners: your heart is another muscle in the body… as it gets in better shape, the more proficient it becomes. Monitor your heart rate and know when to back off your pace. I’ve yet to meet someone who “willed” the pulse rate down… as mentioned, easy way to reduce heart rate is ease of intensity. Your goal is to maintain a heart rate above 120 when running… your watch will tell you what your rate is. If you don’t have a watch, a good rule of thumb is, stop, finger on your carotid and take your pulse for six seconds, then add a zero on the number of beats… a fairly good estimate of you pulse rate

I am training running as a movement pattern in my overall “movement diet” and appreciate your advice. Pacing allows for proper breathing too- just needed permission to get to that place. Thank tou!

I can't even run 2 minutes straight without pausing. Beginners in the comment section be like 🐆😂

[siberaike]

Yeah, I am not used to run. Played football for 7 years, never had palpitations. Quit 4 years ago and havent train cardio since. Now when I started to train cardio again my heartrate suddenly spikes and it is 200bpm. But it goes regular down and back to normal heartrate in 1 minute
