Niko niko running is a Japanese concept pioneered by researcher dr Hiroaki Tanaka in his book ' Slow jogging' from 2016 (not a title destined to sell many copies in Europe or America but I decided to buy it anyway). Hiroaki Tanaka formalised his system after using it to improve from 4:11 for the marathon in his thirties to 2:40 when his was fifty-years old and eventually 2:38:50 - his.. Slow Jogging is a running method pioneered by Dr. Hiroaki Tanaka. Its core concept is running at the "Niko Niko pace," a comfortable intensity where you can smile and carry on a full conversation without becoming breathless. It's slightly more intensive than a slow or brisk walk.
The NikoNiko running method was developed by Hiroaki Tanaka, a Japanese exercise physiologist and professor at Fukuoka University. "Niko niko" (γγ³γγ³) is a Japanese onomatopoeia meaning "smile" or describing a smiling face.. The professor's greatest discovery? He found that the niko-niko pace allowed for faster fat burning than regular jogging, while still providing the same endorphin-related pleasure. In this realm, slow running even has an advantage: adrenaline isn't triggered by the practice, helping you avoid the exhaustion sometimes following a workout.
