Why Heart Rate Training Is Terrible and How to Do It Right (Encore Run)
Some runners rely almost exclusively on their heart rate to tell them how hard or how easy their runs are and some even plan their entire training around heart rate zones.
The only problem is, well, heart rate training is problematic.
So why do so many runners use it? And should you?
Let’s find out.
Today, I’m joined by one of my favorite running coaches, Elisabeth Scott from Running Explained.
We go over:
The pros and cons of heart rate training
How you can determine your max heart rate without going to a lab, and
She explains why common formulas and heart rate zones might be more confusing than helpful.
If you’ve ever struggled with keeping your heart rate low on an easy run or wondering if it’s getting too high on a workout, we’ll get to the heart of the matter in this episode.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Fantastic!
Claire is knowledgeable and entertaining. As a fellow plant based eater and somewhat new runner, I was searching for someone who could guide me on my running journey. I hit the jackpot with this podcast. I also followed Claire’s training plan last year to guide me to my first half marathon and I finished strong with her advice!
