It seems to follow a lot of things out there MAF/ zone 1-2 hr 80% easy etc. when you run slow you can keep going for ages and it has loads of benefits. I’ll be interested to see what others say about it !

When I started C25k in February last year someone posted the YouTube clip of it on the forum it really helped me to understand how to keep going. Then again when I moved up to B210k I'd remember the technique and it helped me to slow down and actually keep going up hills. Now I try to run using HR Zones rather than pace, (although I'm sure they aren't really correct on my watch) , but I'd never have kept going without both these techniques.It'll be interesting to see what responses you get

My thoughts? every time I see this mentioned I think I must check it out!!!
It's a great technique, particularly when starting running. Much gentler on the knees too - running has improved my osteoarthritis. I think slow running was an important factor. And I would guess as we run further and sometimes faster the old technique of not stepping out too far and keeping knees bent may well prevent long term harm.
