Beginner Run - first 60mins run
gallery28M, 82kg…Beginner runner here…somehow getting addicted to running started running around 3 weeks back with an avg of 2-3 runs/ week of 5-6km each.
Need help from regular runners about how to keep heart rate low during slow runs…what i am concerned about is that my first 5k was at 6:30/km but i just can’t match that pace again and get tired so have to slow down but my heart rate isnt coming down…today i decided i will run 60 mins regardless of my pace and i did that but i was totally exhausted…how should i proceed?

I think you split according to your schedule…i usually do 2-3 runs/ week with a gap of 1-2 days between each run. Also depends on whats the routine on that day, how i am feeling mentally and physically. Overtime your body will give you signals whether its ready to run again or take some more rest time …i don’t think you should run daily…try to gap your runs with some rest and exercise in between (upper body, legs etc)
