Let me explain. Recently I (Floris Gierman) recorded a 35 minute video of a low heart rate training guide. The only thing is that I recorded this video, while running a sub 3 hour marathon on a running track.    I did use an external mic, however you do hear me huffing and puffing from time to time, because I’m running an average pace of 6:45 min / mile, so 4:12 min / km for 26.2 miles / 42.2km.    Before we start this episode, two comments:    This podcast episode is also available as a full video with some graphics on my YT channel: https://youtu.be/taO8kKsx448     Download the Low HR Training Guide PDF for free: https://extramilest.com/subscribe     LINKS AND TOOLS MENTIONED:    ► My Strava from this run: https://www.strava.com/activities/9029158789    ► Extramilest Show Podcast - https://extramilest.com/podcast/    ► MAF 180 formula: https://philmaffetone.com/180-formula/    ► HR Training Zone Calculator: https://bit.ly/hr-calculator    ► Talk Test: https://youtu.be/AoB2AMUq8Wg    ► Lactate Testing: https://bit.ly/3WAbI5z    ► Personal Best Training Program: https://www.pbprogram.com    ► 25 Tips from the Extramilest Run Community: https://youtu.be/lbCO0zlUPkE   ► Marathon pace wristband creator: https://bit.ly/3RVu51w      GEAR USED:    ► Gel PF 30 - https://visit.pfandh.com/Flo10 (10% off your 1st order with code FLO10)    ► Gel PF 30 Caffeine - https://visit.pfandh.com/Flo10 (10% off your 1st order with code FLO10)    ► Shoes - Nike Air Zoom Alphafly Next % Flyknit - https://amzn.to/3HILKIC    ► Shorts - PATH projects Graves PX 7” Shorts - https://pathprojects.com/graves    ► Liner - PATH projects Lynx PD 8” - https://bit.ly/3VimixU    ► Shirt - PATH projects Andes Ad Tank - https://bit.ly/3yts9qn    ► Hat - Muir Cap - https://bit.ly/3L3foqa    ► Watch 1 - COROS APEX PRO 2 - https://amzn.to/3Wle4Vo    ► Heart Rate Monitor - Garmin HRM Pro - https://amzn.to/3MmJw1I    ► COROS POD 2 - https://amzn.to/3uVcwFV    ► NutriSense Continuous Blood Glucose Monitor CGM - https://bit.ly/3Xebylh    ► Camera - Go Pro 11 - https://amzn.to/3FZfCiw    ► Mic - Go Pro Media Mod - https://amzn.to/3vBTxAs      YOU CAN FIND ME, FLORIS GIERMAN HERE:    ► Personal Best Program: https://www.pbprogram.com    ► Website: https://extramilest.com    ► Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/1329785    ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/florisgierman    ► Podcast: https://extramilest.com/podcast    ► YouTube: https://bit.ly/Flo-YT   Download the Low HR Training Guide PDF for free: https://extramilest.com/subscribe
