Some runners rely almost exclusively on their heart rate to tell them how hard or how easy their runs are and some even plan their entire training around heart rate zones.

The only problem is, well, heart rate training is problematic.

So why do so many runners use it?  And should you?

Let’s find out.

Today, I’m joined by one of my favorite running coaches, Elisabeth Scott from Running Explained.  

We go over:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Fantastic!

Claire is knowledgeable and entertaining. As a fellow plant based eater and somewhat new runner, I was searching for someone who could guide me on my running journey. I hit the jackpot with this podcast. I also followed Claire’s training plan last year to guide me to my first half marathon and I finished strong with her advice!
