the reality of being a slow marathon runner

[@spencer316]

I love running (especially slow running haha). I lived in Nashville for 5 years so your videos running around the city are really bringing back a ton of great memories. Keep up the strong work!!

If your heart rate is shooting up early in your run you may need to look at your warm up
Usually for me if I don’t warm up my system my body goes into “I’m being chased and I’m going to die” mode and my heart rate sky rockets

[@jon_hopkins]

Thank you for this!! I tried it out today before my run and it fixed the issue :)

[@MattehDaniel]

@ no worries mate, for me what works is 4-5min at 5k pace then walk my heart rate back down to “almost” resting before I start my actual workout

[@jon_hopkins]

Oh okay I’ll try walking my heart rate down before today! Thank you!

Well done. Great motivation for me. Getting back into it after a really long break.

[@jon_hopkins]

That’s amazing!! I’ve been there myself haha 😂
