Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Even if your HR stays very low in that context - you will still be building up lovely little mitochondria Power Houses!!!

T - everyone starts somewhere! I certainly wasn't charging about at 8mm when I started running LOL! You've been running less than 6 months and already completed a half :)

OK, I'm a little confused though. Who thinks that running slowly can injure you?

My opinion is that if it were possible then surely by implication walking would be worse for you still and walkers would get injured all the time?

I have to say it took me awhile to realise that slow running is good for you but I never thought it would harm me and AFAIK it never has :-)

IanM - it isn't that slow runnng per se will injury you. It's that some people end up running really weird when they try to slow down, and so injure themselves through using weird form. Running slowly with good form is fine :)

About This Thread

Maintained by Elderberry
Everything you need to know about training with a heart rate monitor. Remember the motto "I can maintain a fast pace over the race distance because I am an Endurance God". Mind the trap door....

Gobi lurks here, but for his advice you must first speak his name. Ask and you shall receive.

A quote:

"The area between the top of the aerobic threshold and anaerobic threshold is somewhat of a no mans land of fitness. It is a mix of aerobic and anaerobic states. For the amount of effort the athlete puts forth, not a whole lot of fitness is produced. It does not train the aerobic or anaerobic energy system to a high degree. This area does have its place in training; it is just not in base season. Unfortunately this area is where I find a lot of athletes spending the majority of their seasons, which retards aerobic development. The athletes heart rate shoots up to this zone with little power or speed being produced when it gets there." Matt Russ, US International Coach
