      <![CDATA[Talking with others while you run is a good idea because in order to talk *easily*, you have to be running below aerobic threshhold. You should be able to say an entire sentence or most of a sentence and not 1 word at a time.<br>

Its important to start slow for a mile or two to enable your fat burning engine to turn on and to allow your muscles to warm up.
