Yeah this is so impressive, I agree. I calculated my MAF (146), should my heartrate be below this? Everyone talks about a "zone", but I'm a bit confused, because the result of the formula is just a single number, not a zone.

@redaskriksciukaitis9199 11 ай бұрын

My biggest takeaway is that with my 9-5 job, I've found that integrating Zone 2 running during lunch hours has become doable and genuinely invigorating. It's a game-changer to complete a run and still feel energetic, rather than being wiped out and needing a nap. This has turned my midday exercise into a productivity boost rather than a drain. Highly recommend this for anyone trying to balance work and fitness!

Thank you Floris! Love your videos. Had my biggest mileage week this week (144km at age 68) and could never have managed this without LHR/Zone2 training. The great thing is I wake up feeling quite fresh each day. Hoping to break my age category record at Gold Coast HM (Australia) in 2 weeks time and then run the marathon the next day - as a starter for Comrades 2024 training. Won my age category at Tokyo Marathon this year and broke the Australian single age category record for 67 years. I have learnt so much from your videos (and Stephen Seiler) over the past few years. Thank you again!❤😊 Best take away? Be guided by HR on your watch and stay in the range you have chosen.

@flocav6962 10 ай бұрын

I started running 3 years ago (at age 38) and without knowing I trained my aerobic base like crazy. On my long runs I never went above 127bpm, my daily miles stayed below 145bpm and when I started intervaltraining I never exceeded 170bpm. In January this year I did a lactate threshold test to really get to know my zones. Without going too much in detail, my heartratezone 1 is everything under 145bpm. In April this year, I was able to run a 3.07h marathon at an average heartrate of 158bpm. So I guess low heart rate training really works and I was doing it without knowing it, and most of all, enjoyed it 😉

@charlie.matzke 11 ай бұрын

Floris, love the video! I really love the portion where you talk about the talk test, highlighting how important it is to be familiar with how your body feels at different paces rather than choosing to focus exclusively on external metrics such as heart rate, regardless of how helpful they might be. You are inspiring me to put in many miles in zone 2 this summer in preparation for my cross country season in the fall!

You are awesome. I've been trying this and have made progress on pacing. It was difficult at first and had to walk several times per mile to keep the heart rate down. I'm training for an ultra and know I have a long way to go but feeling confident. You are right about feeling good after slow running. I did make the mistake of increasing milage to soon and am stepping back some. I already learned this from you but need reminded. It's like financial advice, everyone knows they need to live on a budget but don't. You may have the knowledge but not the discipline. Running is the same. Keep reminding me.

I’m in my third year of MAF training with great results so far. For me, the biggest challenge is slowing down when it’s hot. I live in Texas, and for about three months it rarely gets below 78º and very humid, even at dawn. My pace drops 1 1/2 minutes per mile slower, and I have to walk almost any incline to stay under MAF max hr. I speed back up and make year over year gains in the fall, but it’s hard to trust the process when you get slower for that long after you’ve seen cool weather improvements the previous year

Sir! Thank you so much. I would say this goes into your top ten videos! I felt so motivated watching this morning, I set my own PR distance at a PR pace and all in Zone 2. Last fall when I started this MAF/80/20 style training I was doing 16-18 min miles and couldn’t get past 2.5-3.1 miles keeping my heart rate in zone 2. Today I did 6 miles all under 12 minutes and all in Zone 2. I live at 6200 feet here in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Today was actually hill day, so I had 7 hills fit into the run. The adjusted pace with the hills taken into account was calculated at 12:15/ mile. My goal is 10 min/mile in Zone 2 by the end of 2023. The keto program that I put myself through has also helped greatly as I’ve dropped 22 pounds in 6 months and now comfortably maintain a weight between 215 and 220 pounds at 6’2”. I will be 64 years old this year. I usually compete in triathlons but only have one quick Reverse Sprint under my belt this year. This fall at the end of Tri season, I’m going to really focus on losing more weight and completing a few 10ks and hopefully a 1/2 marathon by the end of 2023. This video today, watching you walk the talk and showing us your beautiful family was just so inspiring and beautiful! I thank you sir! Thank you for all the tremendous amount of care and detail you put into your productions. Thank you for the positive energy that just explodes off of the monitor as I’m watching in complete amazement. Thank you for being honest and direct. You’re one helluva human being man, father and husband. HAPPY FATHERS DAY 2023!

I have been training low heart rate for about 1.5 months. I was getting close to the end of my training on Friday and decided to do something. I *ran* at 4.1 mph (I am currently on a treadmill) for about 1:30 minutes. At 50 years old and close to 290 lbs, this was a HUGE leap. Meanwhile, I find myself working at about 3.5 mph - where I had to *jog* when I started. Rather than worry about how long it is taking, I look back on where I came from. THAT is a strong motivator. Favorite takeaway: If you feel like running, go for it. (This is what I did on Friday) Knowing this really helped with my self confidence. My 5K race in October is getting closer and closer! You are never too old to start. Thanks, Floris.

Floris, you are my hero ^^ These talk and run marathon videos are super inspiring. I've listened to a lot of people on running in general and very few have your clear way of laying out interesting and useful stuff. For me the key takeaway points were patience, persistence, and consistency I guess as the secret of success in any matter. I do feel exhausted after my runs though. I really liked the idea of a journal to record all observations, I'm gonna have to do that. Right now I am learning how to enjoy my runs and how to incorporate them in my working week so that I can do that work after my workouts. Thanks a lot!

Great video. I am really happy that I watched this video. Great information and it gives me motivation to continue running slow for a longer period of time.

Thank you for providing such great content! Began running again in January after a long layoff. Did most of my running at low heart rate. Used to get injured and overdo it. No injuries and just broke 2 hours in the half marathon on a hilly course in the summer (taking over 12 minutes off my previous best!). Aiming for a marathon in the fall and will continue to utilize many of the principles laid out in this video. Thanks again! It really works!

The 'What to expect from low heart rate training' really hit home and made me realize that I am not the only one experiencing this. Great takeaway!

By far the most clear and in depth video about this topic I've seen so far. Fun to watch while you run my goal marathon time for my next marathon 😂

I like that you show us everything by your example, many speak about low HR but you can't see that in their training

Just found your channel through this video and really enjoying the content! My biggest takeaway is looking at the bigger picture, putting the pieces together and just trusting the process. As a beginner runner, all the points you touch on with frustration of having to slow down, trying to go too hard, etc. really hit close to home. Starting this next week off with a different mindset. Thanks again!
