Relaxed Running

Today I tried something new, something that I've never done before or maybe never able to manage: not pushing myself! It might sound crazy, but it's really hard for me to go slow and try to keep my heart rate low and steady. It was kinda weird to run so slow and from time to time I had the feeling as if I wouldn't move at all. Overall I guess it'll be helpful to get better control over my heart rate but I have to admit it's not really my thing. It took me 51:33 minutes to run 8.7 km with an average heart rate of 156.
