BRCi 3/4-4/3 Cruise06 Interval05

Breath Runner Cruise Intervals (Aerobic) 7 Step pattern runs utilize slightly varying breathing patterns around your Zone 2 (roughly equates to Half Marathon (21K) pace) efforts for training runs. This will help your body learn how to buffer lactate faster, improve your ventilatory muscles, and help you gain a sense of aerobic effort(s). Think about: • Fast, light feet! In order to be able to inhale and exhale over 7 steps, cadence must stay reasonably rapid. • Nose breath if able! • Focus on the exhale — strong yet smooth and controlled throughout. • Effort levels should be in the aerobic zones. Stride should feel natural and relaxed. • Minimize unnecessary upper body movements.
