Short run down the canal today at an easy pace.

I’m not very good at slowing down and just enjoying the run on flatter routes. It’s not because I’m trying to beat a time or look good on Strava.

I have a medium pace that feels comfortable but I know this is more effort than I need to exert and that a slower pace would be good for me.

I’ve seen people doing “low HR” training and experts seem to agree there are some benefits. So I kept an eye on my heart rate and tried to keep it low while reducing my pace.
