This is going to be a different episode than normal and I honestly don’t know if this episode is going to work well in audio format. 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.
