spatterson said:It's a mind game, KB. You trick your heart and your head. You find a place and go there, and forget about what you're doing. Establish a breathing/stride tempo that is even. Trick your heart (so to speak) by breathing in for 3 or 4 paces, and out for 3 or 4 paces. When I run distance my heart rate is SO low, because I keep my breathing 100% under control.
Remember, Oprah ran a marathon. This is only 6+/- miles...no biggie.
Totally a mind thing, if you're in even reasonable shape. And Spatts is totally right -- if you can control your breathing, that's pretty much the whole game. Hell, that's how I ran a marathon with virtually no training.
