There's no form of exercise as pure and simple as running - all you need is a good pair of shoes, something comfortable to wear - oh, and a heart rate monitor!
Heart rate monitors have transformed running for many people. The beauty of a heart rate monitor is that it tells you exactly how hard you are working at all times.
This is good information when you are running - surprisingly, not because most people don't run fast enough, but on the contrary, because many people go too hard!
Going too hard, too often, leads to overtraining. Overtraining means that you spend most of your training at high heart rates, and while this might sound good - you are working hard, right? - in fact it is ultimately destructive. People who spend too much time at high heart rates - in the red zone - end up injured.
In addition, if you always train in the red zone, it's actually hard to get any fitter. When you slow down, however, something amazing happens. Your body begins to adapt, and you wind up covering more and more ground at the same heart rate.
Many people find that within a few months of starting to run with a heart rate monitor, they are running as fast as before, but with a much slower heart rate. That's a result!
