#35 - Lower Your Running Heart Rate with the Ultra Shuffle
Mastering the Ultra Shuffle: Lower Your Heart Rate and Run Smarter
In episode 35 of The Forever Runner Podcast, host Herb Reeves explains the concept of the ultra shuffle and how it can help runners lower their running heart rate and improve efficiency. Addressing a question from a club member, coach Herb discusses common reasons for high heart rates in runners, such as poor running efficiency and overstriding. By adopting the ultra shuffle technique—characterized by low-impact, gliding strides with minimal knee lift—runners can increase their cadence, align their foot strides with their center of mass, and run more efficiently. Drawing on the example of ultra marathoner Cliff Young and his own personal experience, coach Herb offers practical steps to implement the ultra shuffle and encourages listeners to give it a try.
