That is the ideal Peacey but the odd deviation isn't an issue.

eL Bee! and I were talking about training paces and stuff while we were running (which demonstrates, among other things, that I can have a coherent conversation at a pace that would give me an average WHR of 75% or slightly higher).

I'm currently breaking another training principle by doing nearly all my training at target marathon pace.

I pop my head round the door to suggest that the reason why i don't understand a word of this thread is closely associated with the fact that I am a shite runner.

Hello, JB :) The party appears to be in this thread tonight!

Ian, yes, I am indeed special. I'm risking everything so that my husband doesn't end up doing most of his training at 30%WHR. Saintly or what? ;)

Peacey
Thanks Ian. As a rule I have been happy up to this point if the entire run averaged under 70%, maybe I'm getting a little picky to try to keep the run under 70 constantly?

No Peacey, you are doing fine mate just dont beat yerself up over the odd straying fromthe line thing. I find it easy nowadays to keep all of mine under if that is the desired aim of the run.

Very selfless of you vrap :-)

Peacy as you know Hr drift is somewhat inevitable as the run progresses. Hadd states that until you can hold a constant pace at the designated BPM for10 miles then you should carry on training at that HR until you can

Heres my last 10 miler after 8 weeks of consistent Circa 140 BPM running

11th February 2009 142 BPM 62% WHR
9.02,8.51,9.00,9.20,9.19,9.07,9.17,9.33,9.28,9.50

So I am not there yet by quite a margin, but it has improved both in pace and the amount of drift since i started 8 weeks ago.

Everything you need to know about training with a heart rate monitor. Remember the motto "I can maintain a fast pace over the race distance because I am an Endurance God". Mind the trap door....

Gobi lurks here, but for his advice you must first speak his name. Ask and you shall receive.

A quote:

"The area between the top of the aerobic threshold and anaerobic threshold is somewhat of a no mans land of fitness. It is a mix of aerobic and anaerobic states. For the amount of effort the athlete puts forth, not a whole lot of fitness is produced. It does not train the aerobic or anaerobic energy system to a high degree. This area does have its place in training; it is just not in base season. Unfortunately this area is where I find a lot of athletes spending the majority of their seasons, which retards aerobic development. The athletes heart rate shoots up to this zone with little power or speed being produced when it gets there." Matt Russ, US International Coach
