I just bought a heart rate monitor to try to keep my heart rate in zones 1-3. I can't run more that 1/8 of a mile before it's getting high. Any suggestions? I've been running 10-15 miles per week for…Continue

I'm working hard to follow all of the suggestions in Eric's book. I have noticed that I am struggling more with breathing. Is that common when changing running style?

"Thank you Rachel. That helps! I have Eric's book and have been doing the exercises, but then got distracted with another book that talked about the Maffetone Method. I was super intrigued. I don't want to give up on it, but I think I will…"
Rachel Pearson replied to Beth Garigen's discussion Heart rate"I spent about six months doing essentially the MAF method. I've definitely gotten fitter, however it seemed like I was making very slow progress and I got frustrated frequently as a result. I did get faster, although I was never really able to…"
"I'm getting frustrated. I've been trying to keep under 133 beats per minute to try to train my body to burn fat like the Maffetone Method. On week 2 and following a sugar free diet while increasing protein and no processed foods. I can run…"
"Thanks Eric. I'm getting the hang of it - better stride, better base, better form. It's exciting trying to get better and faster."
"Hi Beth,
I dont miss those humid WNY days! One note, when it is hit and humid your HR will be higher than normal. This could especially be the case if you did your HR test in coer temps. You might want to test again if that is the case now that…"
"Just water. My RPE is normal. Just a light jog. It's really humid here in Western NY. I will try some gel."
"Hi Beth, One thing I have been noticing is that my heart rate monitor (optical on watch (Garmin 935) and Garmin HRM strap) is that it sometimes shows high readings at the start of a run. This is in the cold/high humidity. It locks onto cadence…"
"Polar H10 is a really good strap and monitor. I use the same one.
Are you using electrode gel? Or just water to moisten the pads? I usually get really high heart rate measurements at the beginning of my run when the air is really…"
"Hi Beth,
Are you using a wrist-based optical heart rate monitor? Or the chest strap one?

Heart rate
I just bought a heart rate monitor to try to keep my heart rate in zones 1-3. I can't run more that 1/8 of a mile before it's getting high. Any suggestions? I've been running 10-15 miles per week for years. I cut out all refined and processed foods and sugar.
"Hey Beth,
Stay patient. Whenever we are used to doing something one, and trying to change it, we will be a little inefficient. And, why your breathing is a challenge.
Be sure you are following the heart rate protocol and doing the drills and…"
"Hello,
I also found that. When i put focus into getting my arm movement right while running my breathing changed a surprising lot. It will go back to normal.
Ben"
