youtube.com/watch?v=G7REHrb... I have come to realise that I have too high of a "running cadence" especially when I am trying to run slowly with a low HR - I was watching this "slow jog" cadence used by the US Army and have an App which works out just what the cadence is - in this case it is only 160BPM. Most of my running recently has been at 190 BPM - so tomorrow , I am going out to see how I go "running" at this slow cadence with a close eye on my HR. This will be the centre post of my attempt to get back to running 5K non-stop - slowly!!

160 is much more realistic, 192 was far too fast, I have a metronome app, I have set it at 162 cadence/beats/steps a minute and have been gradually increasing my distance from 5K to 7K, my average pace is around 7.30Km, so if I continue up to 10K the time to run a 10K would be around 1 hour 16 minutes.
Very slow running like this at gentle cadence is the core of my hr zone HM training plan.

Maybe try more challenging terrain, you'll have to slow down then! My road running cadence is around 180 whereas my trail running is around 150/160.
