Biomimeticist
Sorry for answering his question...
Its not my fault that biomimicry is an engineering science by history and not one of exercise science.

Especially since animals can run faster, further, jump higher, and demonstrate greater agility skills.
And I made the mistake to discover the humans that have already studied and learned to mimic them..
Experts said the world is flat
Experts said that man would never fly
Experts said we'd never go to the moon
Name me one of those "experts"...
History never remembers the name of experts; just the innovators who had the guts to challenge and prove the "experts" wrong

Copernicus, nobody cares. Whether you are serious or trolling, nobody cares. Nobody has asked you for more info. Some of us have poked you with a stick, some of us have patiently tried to get you to change tactics. But nobody is trying to learn from you. As a troll, you are (apparently) pretty effective. As a serious "scientist", you are a ape banana wacky shit over-the-top nuts crazy fucking idiot. Go away. Shoo.

SRL, that made my day.

No, the funny part is the video of you trying to run like an ostrich. Thanks for that.
Not at it at all.

Well, now, that first statement can be debated, can't it? I mean, I am assuming by your statement that you believe in Free Will. But what about Determinism? There are equally valid arguments for both. Which is right?
You're right, that is pretty damned funny. But hey, I earn a living training business people, so there you go.
Not much endurance...
not bad for mile 25
Dang, I thought the treadmill readout said 70mph. Disappointed.
Sports Jester is correct when saying that I did mention that I had switched to forefoot strike. Thank you, Jester, for the link, the topic deserves a special consideration, but as I mentioned above, I had problems with my knee and this means that going back to heel striking is just out of question for me. Perhaps, I can decrease my HR by changing the running form, but my question was rather is it possible to gain anything by putting so little efforts into the training. The answer seems to be yes, even though the specific HR varies significantly for various runners. Moreover, there is no reliable method to calculate the exact HR corresponding to maximum aerobic function.
This begs for another question. 10 bpm more or less — is it important? How precise should the measurements be? If I use the Maffetone formula, overestimate my fitness and add 5 to 137 (180-43) instead of subtracting, how would that affect my results?
I think you are focused on the wrong thing.
Do not worry about decreasing your heart rate. Your heart rate is a measure of effort. There are multiple ways to measure effort.
You want to run with a low heart rate, generally speaking, because it means you are working at a lower effort. The effort is the important thing, because if you do too much work at a high effort level, your chance for injury goes up, and you will plateau quickly.
So, focus on keeping your effort level low during the run, and focus on being consistent and frequent with your running.
Run like T-Rex, thats some funny stuff.
