Aug 13, 2025

Intro

This is a quick summary of SLOWING IT DOWN | DAILY TRAINING VLOG - DAY 3 from The Welsh Runner. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the workout today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.

Key Points

Matt emphasizes easy‑effort runs (HR Zone 1‑2) to rebuild fitness after his sacrum stress‑fracture.
He uses heart‑rate as a guide: 140‑150 bpm feels “steady” and is perfect for aerobic development.
If you can hold a conversation or sing along comfortably, you’re likely in the right zone.
Running too fast will make talking difficult – a quick check for pacing.

Workout Example

Duration: 45 minutes (originally planned for 60 minutes, shortened for recovery).
Intensity: Keep heart‑rate between 140‑150 bpm (or whatever corresponds to your personal Zone 1‑2).
Goal: Run at a pace where you can talk or sing without strain.
Tip: Monitor your HR watch; if you start to lose the conversation, ease off a little.

Closing Note

Give this easy‑run a try today, adjusting the pace to match your own heart‑rate zones in the Pacing app. Consistency at low intensity will pay off as you rebuild strength and endurance. Happy running!
