One style of slow running that has recently gained popularity is running at a niko niko pace. Niko niko running was developed by Hiroaki Tanaka, a Japanese professor and researcher. The name niko niko literally means “smile” in Japanese, perfectly reflecting the essence of this running style. Instead of pushing yourself through strenuous exercise, the focus of niko niko running is on enjoying yourself.
Dr. Tanaka spent decades perfecting the concept of the niko niko pace. The general rule of thumb is that individuals run at an intensity below 50% of their VO2 max, which is the amount of oxygen our bodies use during exercise. For most people, this pace is just slightly faster than walking. Jogging at the niko niko pace should allow people to effortlessly maintain a conversation.
