Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

It's a stride in our language MPG (the word stride should be in red with an explanation if you click it.

When Parker says 1 mile striders he means what you describe but do it for a whole mile, i.e. 8 x 100m fast 100m jog.

I see it's not one of those red words - like rice - at all. Oh well.

Didn't really get the strides concept myself until I did it with club, on the track striding the straights and jogging the bends.

HI

I have a HRM but not to sure how to train with it. My max is 187 and rest is 51. I have listned to lots of podcasts etc that say ishould be base training at the lowest zone before starting my marathon training program. I am over weight so i know i need to stay in the fat burn zone but that is 100-120. I am more or less walking so this cant be right.

any body any ideas or easy to understand web sites that do a base training program ?

Try doing some runs at under 75% of your max, so 140 bpm max. The % of max approach mean you don't need to worry about your resting. Tis simpler. No need for you to be running as low as 100-120!

So would this be a good rate for doing lots of steady base runs ?

It would be ideal James. Even taking your minimum into account you can go up to 146.

I'm not sure where your numbers come from btw - just concentrate on staying aerobic. The fat burn zone thing is a bit of a myth - you'll burn more fat (and more total calories) in an hour running faster than you will in the same time running slower.

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
