I don't believe any of the issues with "JyawnMan" are caused by him being American. I know and enjoy the company of lots of Americans.

*unlurks and bravely decides to post*
I use HRM more as a gauge of fitness now and for recovery type runs to make sure I don't overdo it.
Today I managed an avg pace of 10:18mm with an avg hr of 72%WHR, which while it is above the magic 70%, most of the run was around that and I am happy that it was easy enough for me.
More importantly my pace has improved and to be able to move that quickly( for me) for such a low effort rate was an impossible dream 12 months ago.

Is running 72 or 73% that bad then?

Baw,
"""""Generally, I've found Americans to be kind, generous and enthusiastic."""""
That describes me exactly:)

For the record, I am definitely not anti American or anti anyone else for that matter.
Has anyone looked into the biomechanical issues that may affect heart rate??

CY- Depending on which principle you follow some say it should eb below 70% to be truely easy, but trying to stick that rigidly to it makes me unhappy, so I tend to keep around 150bpm which usually comes out around 71-72%
Sallykate - When I started HRM training in 2007 my pace dropped to 11:00=12:00 mm, so for me to get close to 10:00mm is a major achievement.

Jacko we have to draw the line somewhere to make sense of things. Going a bit over isn't going to make any difference probably especially on one run. Guidelines are to be used as well, guides
Within reason of course, if I ran every run at 75% then I probably wouldn't be running easy enough or using the techniques debated on here...
