  • Medically reviewed by Laura Campedelli, DPT If you see your heartbeats per minute climbing on your smart watch or feel your heart pounding, you might be wondering how to lower your heart rate while running.

The article from MSN discusses various strategies to lower your heart rate while running, which can help improve endurance and performance. It suggests seven methods: 1) Slowing down your pace to reduce the intensity of the workout, 2) Breathing exercises like diaphragmatic breathing to manage heart rate, 3) Proper hydration to prevent dehydration which can elevate heart rate, 4) Incorporating walk breaks during runs to give your heart a rest, 5) Improving cardiovascular fitness through regular training to make your heart more efficient, 6) Using relaxation techniques like meditation or visualization to calm the mind and body, and 7) Checking for overtraining signs, as pushing too hard can lead to an elevated resting heart rate. The article also advises when to seek medical help, particularly if your heart rate remains high despite these interventions or if you experience symptoms like chest pain or severe shortness of breath, indicating potential health issues that need professional attention.
