HE,

If you don't adjust with time then you should probably evaluate your running technique at slow speeds. As it would be the likely culprit.

HE - run that way once in a while by all means, but I think if you did the majority of your miles that slow you wouldn't be getting as much benefit as if you were at 65-70% WHR. You're talking about 10-11 min/miles here, where you could be at 9:xx m/m instead without any detriment.

HE,

It should be okay for you to run closer to the 70% WHR figure. If it means you feel better that is plus :)

Tough gig indeed, I don't like to run under 7mm when running easy and to be honest prefer 8mm as it is relaxed as hell

About This Thread

Maintained by Elderberry
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
