AMR Answers: Why the First Mile Is So Rough; The Lowdown on Weighted Vests

Anyone curious about running by heart rate—and wondering what the numbers really mean—need to listen to this episode. The host duo answers Jennifer’s HR question, plus her query about why the first mile of a run is often the toughest. Then they turn to Sandy’s query about weighted vests, with Dimity summing it up best: “If you want to turn a walk into more of a workout, wear a weighted vest.”   Before the first Q+A around 5:30, Sarah shares the workout she’s loving these days.
