26bpm, mic? Seriously?
That's right in the realms of a Ventricular Escape Rhythm, rather than a normal sinus rhythm!
Unless there is another explanation, that is really rather low!!!

Out of interest, Mic, if your RHR is that low, what's your MHR?

Hi Nelly, I have never tested it out ,, but Im work on it being close to 177BPM, , most of myb Long training Runs are done at 140bpm - 156bpm, my AT work is normally 158bpm - 164bpm, intervals may get close to 170bpm I almost never run below 130bpm unless its a warm-up or warm-down effort - I dont like the *feeling* of running at 120bpm, it *feels* horrible.. but most of my training is low 30mpw , with 2 long'ish runs [for me 13miles is long'ish] at least 1 tempo effort over 9 miles, a steady 7 - 8 miler and 1 x easy short 4 miler, this summer will see the 7 miler sub'd for an additional track session over various distances' .. too much info probably cheers

Hey Well done Bob
Went out just before 3pm still very warm ran 8.36 miles but kept it relatively easy 92% of the time was under 70% whr. Happy with that considering it was hot and some sharp inclines

Hi,
Anybody run a good half marathon with a HRM before and know what is a good WHR % to be at? I have my first half with HRM on Sunday and would be interested in roughly what % I should be doing - want to see if I can use my HRM to judge whether I am going out too hard early on or if I am holding back. What is the % guidelines if anything to race a HM at?
Any experience / advice welcome Thanks!

Clare, I don't use a HRM to help me judge effort for a race as it can be very inconsistent what with race nerves, weather etc.
That being said there is no harm in giving it a try, just make sure you don't run too fast, maybe keep an eye on how you actually feel.
Parker suggested that a half marathon should be run at 80%WHR and I would probably go with 85-90 but that's me and my level of fitness. Go with 80% if you use it. I'd prefer pace though to be honest...

Thanks Ian, that's helpful. I have a pace in mind too, but will work out 80% WHR beforehand and then just keep an eye on my HR while running to see what it is.
