In this episode of Running to the Castle you’ll learn how to make your easy pace easier so running doesn’t feel so hard. Some options runners use are conversational pace and heart rate training. Conversational pace may be a good gauge, but not everyone runs with another person.

Heart rate training means you follow your heart rate zones for your run, often Zone 2 for easy runs. In this episode I discuss why I don’t follow heart rate training.

So how do you do this? Test your easy pace and track it. Set your watch to alert you if you’re running outside your easy pace. Test your pace on the treadmill with the exact way I have my clients in Stronger. Faster. Finisher. test it.

    Hi, I'm Dr. Ali
    I've been running for 15+ years and been in the rehab space since 2012 when I earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree. I get injury prone runDisney runners across the finish line without feeling broken.
