How can I run with a low heart rate in hot weather?
—Try to run early in the morning or later in the evening, when temperatures are cooler. Stay well-hydrated and consider using a hydration pack during longer runs.
Can caffeine affect my heart rate while running?
—Yes, caffeine is a stimulant that can increase heart rate. If you struggle to keep your heart rate low, try reducing your caffeine intake before running.
How do I know my maximum heart rate?
—You can use a max heart rate test, where you run as hard as you can for a short period of time and record your highest heart rate. This test is best done with a heart rate monitor or chest strap.
What is threshold heart rate?
—Threshold heart rate is the heart rate at which your body starts producing more lactic acid than it can remove. It is often used to determine training zones and improve running performance.
Should I use a run-walk strategy to maintain a low heart rate?
—A run-walk strategy can be effective in helping you maintain a low heart rate during longer runs. Start with shorter run intervals and gradually increase the duration.
