Just started do some light weight lifting since MCO at home and started to jog since last Saturday. Came across this NRC app, did my first run yesterday and feel pretty happy. Anyone using this app wanna add me as friend? Thinking it might motivate me to run more frequently. Hopefully it's not my half baked effort.

eyy, nice one.
when I first started running, I used Endomondo and RunKeeper.
Then slowly I moved to Nike Run.
This apps, really helped me with my training. I wouldn't know to run 200mx 8, or 1600m x 2 to increase my pace power.
I learnt about fartlek, long slow run (as suggested by the apps based on my most recent pace).
I'd say my run pace gotten better.

hi , i have been running quite awhile and i would like to ask for some advice regarding running....
Is it true that i should train in zone 3 for a long time in order to achieve faster pace at a lower heart rate and also endurance ? before getting a garmin watch , i ran with my phone with 6:40-7.00 minutes per km pace and not knowing what my heart rate is. So i got myself a garmin watch after running for quite awhile, i ran with my usual pace and found out my heart rate was reaching 190bpm (that was high considering i am 20 years old). I usually run 6-8km every time and rest for one day and continue the day after that as i feel a little bit tired ( perhaps my heartrate is high?)
So my question, how am I going to run faster at a lower heart rate? In order to stay within zone 3, i have to run at pace 12:00 and that was like walking.... Perhaps some experts could advise me on my running routine ? Thanks!
220-20=200
so 190HRM for your age is consider healthy.
Example for a person age 40, the formula is 220-40= 180, his max HRM should be around 180...
If you want to run according to heart rate zone, then have to find training that's train according to it.
All the best
