✤ MIKE MENTZER JOGGING


MIKE MENTZER JOGGING!

In a full interview, uploaded to YouTube, it showed Mike Mentzer, the famous American bodybuilder during 1980's, renowned for his HIT training method, talking and giving insight into the world of jogging, where he said…

“Your aerobic activities (jogging, in this case) should all be performed at a relaxed pace.” 

He argues that once a person is breathless, huffing and puffing, it would increase the proportion of sugar instead of fat being burned as fuel. 

“If you can’t talk easily while jogging or bicycling you are working too intensely, perform your aerobics at what is called Conversational Pace, and you will be using up to 90% fat as fuel, so reduce your pace.”

Is it true? 
Searching around the internet, there were multiple sources that also, like Mike Mentzer, recommended you to keep your speed when running, not too fast nor too slow. 


Check them out.



So! A Conversational Pace, Easy Pace or Steady State Cardio, is when you're jogging at a speed at which you can essentially have a conversation with someone under performance. Mike Mentzer gave a fun and enjoyable way of training, ensuring less fatigue and more overall more exercise in the end. And the more fitter you get, the more you are able to increase the speed at which you are jogging, cycling or running.
