Fenland Runner Jul 2009 11:19am, 7 Jul 2009 4,125 posts	0 Fenland Runner Thanks Harry It could be after months of not having to breathe hard I have got lazy
Ultracat Jul 2009 3:49pm, 7 Jul 2009 6,422 posts	0 Ultracat Harry you have a perfect excuse then:) anyway thought I would try a faster run on the treadie, somehow or other I managed to get HR up to 150 at some point but average was still only 135 despite me dripping all over the treadmill by the end.
Bazoaxe Jul 2009 9:56am, 8 Jul 2009 623 posts	0 Bazoaxe Good Morning, I have some time between now and December when VLM training starts for real to try out HR training and looking for some thoughts. My plan is to roughly run 4 times per week, broadly 6-9 miles on Tue and Thu, 8-10 on a Saturday and 15+ on a sunday. If I was to do these runs, what %MHR should I be looking to run each run at ?
Ultracat Jul 2009 4:49pm, 8 Jul 2009 6,448 posts	0 Ultracat B. I think the idea is to do most of your running at below 70% of WHR, with the odd few miles done at 80 to 85%.
Nellers Jul 2009 4:52pm, 8 Jul 2009 1,923 posts	0 Nellers Bazoaxe, I don't think running roughly 4 times a week is a good idea. Try running smoothly 4 times a week. Less injury risk.;-)

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
