Perform dynamic stretches like leg swings, arm circles, and trunk rotations.
Jog at a comfortable pace to gradually increase heart rate and prepare muscles.
Run at a steady pace while monitoring your heart rate to ensure you're in the aerobic zone.
Run at a consistent pace, maintaining 70-80% of your maximum heart rate.
Gradually lower your heart rate and stretch to aid recovery.
Walk slowly to decrease your heart rate gradually.

This session focuses on building aerobic fitness through a controlled and steady run. By monitoring heart rate, you ensure that you are running at an optimal pace to improve cardiovascular efficiency and endurance. This type of run helps in developing a strong aerobic base, which is crucial for overall performance improvements across various running disciplines.
Additionally, maintaining a consistent heart rate enhances the ability to conserve energy over long distances and teaches proper pacing strategies. This workout also aids in the recovery process by promoting blood circulation, which facilitates nutrient and oxygen delivery to muscles, ultimately supporting long-term muscle health and increased stamina.
This session is ideal for runners of all levels who are aiming to enhance their aerobic base and learn controlled pacing. Beginners can particularly benefit by learning to regulate pace through heart rate monitoring, while more seasoned runners can use this session to maintain their aerobic fitness. Pregnant women and individuals with specific heart conditions should consult a healthcare provider before attempting this type of workout.
To get the most out of this session, it's important to have a reliable heart rate monitor to accurately track your beats per minute. Ensure you stay within your target heart rate zone, which is roughly 70-80% of your maximum heart rate for most of the run. Stay hydrated and focus on steady breathing patterns to maintain efficiency and increase stamina. Use this as an opportunity to practice holding a consistent pace based on feedback from your heart rate monitor.
