Thanks ElBee. Regarding the time on feet; I managed to do do 22.37 miles in 3:19:27 in my last mara training. I remember it took a LOT of doing though both mentally and physically but yes, I reckon I'd be struggling to stick at it much longer...

thanks el bee, i was going to get a garmin 205 but i run a bit in an industrial area so am coming round to the polar which doesnt rely on getting a signal and comes with a heart rate monitor a bit cheaper. i hope it comes with instructions though, i am having difficulty following this thread, working out percentages etc seems a bit complicated.

RT - In very simple terms - to get the most out of a Hearrt Rate Monitor, you'll need to know what your Maximum is and what your Resting Heart rate is.
The difference between the two is your Working Heart Rate range
So for me Max is 207
RHR is 38
WHR is there fore 169
Take for example the lovely 70%...
70% of 169 is 118
But I need to ADD my RHR to this to give me my actual 70%WHR value
In my case 156bpm
You need to do a Max HR test to determine YOUR max - the equation thingy is notoriously inaccurate

Really buying into Parkers principle on HR training, however what do people do while running uphill, where I find it really difficult to keep below the 70% ceiling.
Does the 70% mean average hr for the run or below or just about 70% constant throughout the run

I walk. It's seems a bit strange at first but you get the hang of it.
I try to always keep it under 70%WHR as much as I can.

RT, the new updates for the 205/305 software claim to improve staellite reception in trees and builtup areas. They are much better than teh old 201/301 out of the box.
Size 10. To start with you will probably have to walk up some if not all hills or run/walk... It gets better with time as Elbee and apparently my stats suggest.

Whereas I allow myself some leeway either side to take into account of Up and Downdulates.
But I love hills - and there are other benefits to be had from short periods of extra work.
And quite often find that HR drops significantly on Downhilss - the the point of not being able to keep it up at 70% if it's a long one, without really scarpering!

Ian - the latest update has DEFINITELY improved lock on/reception.
size 10 - You should start to see some noticable change after about 8 weeks - if you are really disciplined about building your basr - and running VERY regulalry
