This week's episode of The Sunday Shakeout features a practical guide to heart rate training for distance runners. Heart rate training is something that is under-utilized in the world of distance-running and most athletes don't know how to intelligently use it to help their running. However, with proper, usage, heart rate training will definitely make you better at distance runner. Heart rate is a true physiological barometer, and not just of intensity, but as well as crucial things like poor nutrition and overtraining. Therefore, heart rate is very useful to monitor for distance runners.
