ABOUT ME: I'm James Dunne, a runner, sports rehabilitation therapist (similar to physical therapist) and coach based in the UK (Norwich and London).

Since 2007 I've been working with athletes focusing specifically on helping distance runners and triathletes overcome injury and improve performance through developing their individual running technique.

Running biomechanics and physical therapy are real passions of mine. I love to help runners run strong and stay injury free.

Burying the ego… I love that. It is what I struggle with.

Hey guys, just wanted to share my tip
It used to be difficult to keep my heart rate down, most of my runs were with average bpm 160 and I was not making any progress in running for a very long time.
When I was "forcing" myself to run in around 140 by watching fitness tracker, it was very dull and boring and difficult to try to run in walking pace
THEN I tried running with my mouth shut breathing only through nose and suddenly I was able to run with bpm around 140 naturally without actually feeling much tired🙂

My heart rate is walking zone 1 anything faster=zone 5. 😂

After 3 poor marathon finishes last year (hit the wall hard in all 3 and fizzled out hard), I found I was running too much in the grey zone. This year I have stayed in the easy zone (for my age per MAF method) and I've been able to easily jump back up to 40+ mile weeks in 6 weeks - I ran for 13 days in row and could have kept going - no injuries, and I'm recovering really well. My pace went form about 10 minutes per mile back down to just under 9 minutes per mile, and this year I plan to get a lot of 60-70+ mile weeks to be able to finally break 3 hours in the marathon.

Years of anaerobic training has made my heart rate when running long distance go through the roof. Currently I’m on one of the best 4x100 teams in my state, but I can’t run a mile in under 8 minutes.

My HR used to spike whenever I ran up hill, and I used to have a hard time getting my HR down again. I fixed my problem by starting to run more hilly courses. My HR still rises going up hill, but I get it back down without problem. There is nothing wrong with walking up hills, but you might be in trouble if your next race is on a hilly course...

Great point on body doesn’t know the difference between walking and running, only intensity. I did approximately half my aerobic training on stairmaster for my first two marathons. Ran both marathons with zero walking, except to the potty and back out haha. Now time to break the 4 hour barrier 👊🏼

Very useful - thankyou! I've making a conscious effort not to go above a certain HR on my runs except towards the end and it has made my runs more pleasant and faster! I will try the 30 minute test next and see how it goes.

Psst… run fasted. My heart rate is always 15-20 bpm higher after eating, versus fasted in the morning. This seems to be ubiquitous but shockingly not widely discussed.

[scratchandwinner]

That's why I use treadmill... Nice steady pace, and controlled environment. Best for steady state cardio training.

[adrianroliver]

Thank you for your videos on low heart rate running - great for encourage my wife to keep going 🥳

[govi]

Great advice. I have been struggling with high BPM even on easy runs but now I know why.

[JohnnyZeroBoo]

One of my fav things to keep my breathing HR consistent is 10 steps out, 6 steps in, 6 steps out, 10 steps in while I'm Z2 ... it's kind of a take on 5:2 or 2:5 breathing... Remembering to breathe into your low back, belly... seems to steady the rate and also works as a form of running meditation to focus on the run and not the random negativity when you get longer and longer into the runs.

Great tips I used to use the Maff Method (Maffetone) and switched to 80/20 and back....
If you are new to this the Maff Method at first it felt like I was getting no where, but if you are experienced and want to run 50 miles its ideal training to run easier and further with out running at pace and getting faster and faster after 3 weeks / 3 months (all depending on what stage you are at) - at least with the 80/20 you get the opportunity to run fast (and forget your HR) on the 20% days

[Amanda.c]

Maffetone and NASAL breathing got me to finish my first two marathons! 4 hours 10 then 4 hours 7! That was back in 2021 and 2022. Fell off for a bit for muscle building phase but am missing the aerobic fitness long sessions! Back on it now and it feels so right❤

When I quit smoking weed I think that week on Friday, my heart rate was at 190 on a Apple Watch lol. I’m 23 and I had sweats on, a sweater and I was detoxing myself from weed so I was sweating like if it was 120 degrees. Recently I been diagnose with vitamin d deficiency and I ran today and I get tired easily but I’m going to get my endurance back

Happy to see Kyiv Park bridge in the video! 🇺🇦 💪

I started Zone 2 training and basically hate every second of it with a passion. Unfortunately I never really took the time to train my aerobic system and my HR is through the roof within in minutes at even light efforts. Honestly, yesterday was the first time ever I was angry at a run. I am trying to breath properly. I walk when I see my HR go too high. I wish I did not have a 10k and a half marathon coming up in the next few weeks then I could dedicate more time to Zone 2.

Really clear, informative, and straight to the point. Loved it!
