Good afternoon.

How to keep a heart rate at 120 bpm during running? Maybe there is a kind of proper breathing technique? My pace is 5-6 min per km. My heart rate while running is not below 160-175 beats per minute.

Good afternoon.

Why did you decide that you needed 120 bpm heart rate?

If you want to reduce a heart rate you should decrease a running pace. I think a pace of 5-6 min per km is too high for you at this stage. I recommend you try to keep your heart rate at a level of 145-150 bpm. In this case you have a chance to see, over time, positive changes in terms of heart rate decrease. But if you run at a high heart rate systemically, positive dynamics is unlikely. 

In your case, breathing technique doesn't matter as running pace plays a decisive role.

Adaptation Period to Low Heart Rate Training Loads
Question:

What period, in your opinion, is required for physiological adaptation to low heart rate training loads (slow running for building an adequate aerobic base) and whether or not faster sessions, strength exercises, bodyweight moves or gym exercises (physical fitness/ running-specific exercises) should be included during this period? Beginners and/or runners after a break/sickness can be used as an example.

Thank you!

What Should your Target Heart Rate Be while Running?
Question:

Good afternoon!

My question is not short but concerns a key factor for running. So, could you tell about a heart rate in detail? Cardiovascular system is in fact the key one when we speak about aerobic exercise.

1. What heart rate should I maintain during running, what things should I pay attention to and which factors affect the determination of “target heart rate”?

2. How can I control my heart rate? Which devices or methods are more reliable for heart rate measuring during training?

3. What is a dangerous heart rate that should not be exceeded?
