I do use this method when I'm standing still and want to completely relax but very rarely while running.<br /><br />Regarding warm-up and pace, I believe you run by feel but over time I've established a warm up rhythm which is fairly slow for me and that's how I like it. With that said, it also depends on when you run. I run early in the morning right after I get out of bed so my body is completely cold so I must start very slow and allow my body 25-40 minutes to warm up. If I run at night, which is very rare, I can start faster b/c my body is warmer from daily activities. But generally speaking I think you need to train your body to run as slowly as possible during warm up but never run so slow that it feels uncomfortable.<br /><br />Harry-https://www.blogger.com/profile/07806815513746934744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-644036883343278385.post-78831238242282976982012-05-24T15:05:11.714-06:002012-05-24T15:05:11.714-06:00Harry,

You have mentioned before about your breathing while running and if I remember correctly you are not entirely through the nose or through the mouth but a combination of both. (I did download the Zen of Running you mentioned. Very good.) Anyway from following BFT's the minimialist group on google and Maffetone's style about the heart rate while running....if I am breathing thru my nose mostly while running then I should not be going too fast for my current condition. Would you agree with this?<br /><br />Also do you have to force yourself to start slow? There are times when my body feels great and I'm moving along a pretty good pace early in the run (nothing as fast as you). So if I understand my body correctly it was ok to get this fast this early...other times, nope let's go slow and enjoy being outdoors. Is this somewhat the same with you?<br /><br />On the journey,<br />ScottScotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07583228667160920950noreply@blogger.com
