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!

I think I have corrosive sweat. The metal back of my 610 started to bubble after a year of use, too! :-)

I have a few and they have all lasted years. I do 700/800 hrs a year training.

The early 610s were terrible for that. I had the warranty replacements inside 6 months. They switched to a plastic back in the end.

Well I ran the Yorkshire marathon without regularly checking heart rate (thanks Paul the builder), think this helped me pace my way to a 3:02:28, even though my HR average was only 149bpm.

I didn't have anything else to give out there today (as my tailing off for the 2nd half shows).

Will definitely play around with HR in the future and see if I can train myself to running at the higher heart rates as may be room for improvement with more mileage and higher tempo efforts.

Chuffed with my time though!

Good running. Did your heart rate stay proportional to pace or did it drift in the latter part? Remember HR figures over the next few days (if you check them) may read a bit out whilst you recover.

It did drift a little Dvorak, I started out at holding 3:00 pace (6:45-6:52 mm) at around 140-145 bpm, but looking toward the last 6 miles I was 150bpm or above, only managing 7:15 per mile. Will be checking my HR in recovery, thanks for the heads up mate.

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
