When running, you should train at 50 to 85 percent of your maximum heart rate. To calculate the maximum rate, subtract your age from 220. If your heart rate dips below this, you might want to pick up the pace to get better results from your workout.
What is a good BPM to run?
The 120 to 140 BPM range is a good area for regular runs or going for longer distances where you need to pace yourself. If you're pushing yourself with some short, fast runs, then you might want to go for something between 147 to 160 BPM.
What zone should I run in?
“When it comes to developing stamina and increasing aerobic capacity, zone three is the magic spot.” Tempo runs, which are still predominantly aerobic, fall into zone 3, and generally last 30 to 45 minutes. In Zone 4, you're using more of a mix of aerobic and anaerobic metabolism, says Milton.
Will running more lower my heart rate?
Benefits of Low Heart-Rate Training
It increases your aerobic capacity without the strain caused by over training. Eventually you will be able to run close to your race pace with a much lower heart-rate.
