    Hi John, I've been trying for about a month, the ''on the spot'' running technique, for about 35min. Amazingly great workout! I'm rather confused though with the pace, or speed at which one sets the metronome. Some of the coaches on this programme, recommend to set the pace at 180 bpm, a pace that I have been using and which, I must admit, has me wandering if what I'm doing is right. I'm 68 years of age and I find that pace, and running on the spot relatively okay. However, I haven't tried an outdoor run at that pace, it remains to be seen what the outcome will be or how wide my smile will be. If I use your calculation above, in setting the intensity of heart rate (bpm) it results in 104 bpm. Is it right? Alternatively, if I calculate with 180 as the standard it results in 146 bpm. That probably will be a lot easier and certainly will put a smile in my face. Nevertheless, I'm uncertain as to which of the two measurements, I should be using as a standard. Please do help me with this conundrum. Thank you in advance

      Hi I'm glad you like the video. I think there is some confusion between heart rate and foot-strike rate. The 138bpm - (age/2) is an equation for calculating heart rate and determines maximum running intensity (very low for niko niko running). The 180 is foot-strike rate per minute and is the running cadence (relatively high compared to other styles). It results in a slow run with lots of steps. I hope this makes sense.

    What do you think your cadence is for this easy enjoyable run? - looks like around 165 BPM to me. This is what I seem to fall into when I want to run very easily , smelling the roses along the way. I can run at higher cadences - but I start to feel more "stressed" more "deliberate" - this slowish cadence feels nice and easy for me, could do it almost "forever" - but of course it is very slow.

    Just came across your channel...great stuff here! What's your take on how many exercises per movement group? If i see Steve Maxwell's example routines...there is quite often 2, sometimes even 3 pulling or pushing exercises in a training. What's your experience with this? Just two months in with this high intensity style of training and doing just one exercise and set of a movement pillar. That hurts most of the time enough in this stage is my experience. Can't imagine doing more exercises for the same motion 😄
