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!

Dibber's graph is really polarised training as espoused by Canute? In fact 20% is slightly on the high side... not arguing with it, just remarking on it.

I rode a 50 TT today to power and monitored HR - interesting

So separate question. Heart rate spiking in a workout, after 2-3 miles on a hot day... (so sweat, plenty of contact), from 168bpm to 192, and then doing a sort of zigzag between 168 and 180 until I stopped half a mile later (felt tired, but no more tired than usual, it's a hard hill workout). Return run straight up hill for 2 miles and there was no sign of any more spikes at all. Is this likely to be HRM playing up not recording correctly? Or some sort of palpitation? (I do get occasionally)

Could be either, Chrisull. Especially if it's something that you get occasionally anyway.
Many of us have completely benign occasional dysrhythmias!

In the absence of any other symptoms it is most likely that it was a HRM blip though

Ta El Bee, it spiked above what I would consider my max heart rate, but I haven't done a true MHR test, I've used a bleep test and Vo2 max test on an inclined treadmill which both concurred with each other and run pretty much on my age "guessed" MHR too (well the one time I tried an MHR test, I couldn't get close to what those two tests had shown!!!!)

Out of interest would a heart rate spike count as a max heart rate, IF it was a genuine spike, or is it just an anomaly?

Getting some interesting signs that my 9 weeks HR training might have had some endurance benefits, ran a course pb on the tough as nails off road Imery Half (1805ft climbing - yes I know it's nothing to you Scottish, Welsh and Lake District peeps, but our hills don't go above 450m here :-) ) and it was the second half where I made up 2 minutes of time, I ran no faster than my best on the first half, but didn't tire in the second. Some of you here will be going I told you so :-).

About This Thread

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
