I don't care if they're designed by Buckminster Fucking Fuller*. Assuming you actually do something to work out your max (for example, run Cambridge parkrun hard next Saturday and do the last 400m *so* hard you throw up at the line), then you should be doing most of your training at under 75% of MHR, or 70% of WHR, if that's your thing.

Good chart dibbers, but I suspect that it's as wasted on HOD as Father Ted's dreams/reality chart was on Father Dougal.

Perhaps if we nail it to his head?

Contrary to my previous thoughts I'm now utterly convinced with the caveat you do sufficient volume, low intensity work is very valuable.

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
