if your running on snow then you'll be working harder than normal road work

How often should you recalculate rhr and mhr? Is the following what you would all recommend for hr training?
• Jog recovery - a period of extremely slow running (barely above walking pace) in between the efforts in a speed session.
• Easy - a gentle jog at below 60% working heart rate (WHR). Running at this intensity will help your body recover between harder workouts, while still building your aerobic fitness and muscle-strength.
• Slow - conversational pace (60-65% WHR). This is the speed at which you should do your long runs - it might feel awkward at first, but it's better to hold back initially and last the distance than set off too fast and burn out just a few miles later.
• Steady - a comfortable, but purposeful, pace, similar to your marathon pace (65-75% WHR). The 'steady' run helps teach your body economy, and also familiarises you with the speed you should set off on marathon day. After a few runs at this pace, make a note of your target heart rate as you'll really need to stick to your guns in the first few miles of the marathon and avoid getting caught in a rush.
• Threshold (THR), or Brisk - around your target half-marathon pace (85% WHR). 'Brisk' sometimes refers to half-marathon pace while 'threshold' refers to 10-mile pace. Often described as feeling 'comfortably hard', aim to hit about an 8 on a perceived-exertion scale of 10.
• Fast - your 5K or 10K pace, depending on the distance of the speedwork reps (85-95% WHR). Try to hit your 5K pace for reps measuring up to 400m, and your 10K pace for reps between 800m and 1M in length.
• Fartlek - an easy pace, with fast bursts as you wish (70-85+% WHR).

3 months ago I was fit and running 30miles a week. My RHR was 46bpm. I haven't run for 3 months( illness and recent weather). I am now fully recovered and decided to take my RHR yesterday morning. I was surprised to see it is now 70bpm:-0 Is this normal to lose so much fitness in 3 months? I went out and ran an easy 4m with no probs- so I don't think I'm a couch potato!!;-) will it take 3months to regain my fitness and hence low RHR?
Any comments mich appreciated. Thankyou:-)

This happened to me, I also found that my heart recovery rate got worse (heart recovery rate is the rate your heart drops to one minute after exercise). The good news is my fitness level seem to be returning quickly and my resting heart rate is already back to 58bpm which is good for me.

Did that strange first 70% run last night. 50% run / 50% walk - very bizarre.

Keep the faith John.
I did a 16 mile run at 62% WHR last night at over 90s slower than marathon pace.

Hendo is a lazy git. Should do those runs at 85% WHR to see what the body is capable of

16 miles is never relaxing. Fact.
