Gobi Nov 2018 12:09pm, 21 Nov 2018 65,421 posts	0 Gobi Apologies, flippant and argumentative. I would have deleted this if I could. Sorry All.
larkim Nov 2018 1:27pm, 21 Nov 2018 6,067 posts	0 larkim Sorry, no intent to be argumentative at all Gobi! I was just quoting what Garmin watches do by default www8.garmin.com and this is the first article which comes up enhancedmedicalcare.com I did say "What I've heard / read" - Garmin might be bonkers and that other article nonsense, but that's what I'd read on the subject!

Every running mag and site tries to embellish basic and well tried regimes and still running times by the masses are not as swift overall as they were thirty years ago. I think.
GlennR Nov 2018 9:35am, 23 Nov 2018 39,283 posts	0 GlennR All those approaches are simply trying to codify something for practical use, not wrong in itself, and individuals just need to be consistent, especially when measuring progress over time. Gobi's simple statement on the previous page is correct: it's how quickly your heart rate recovers after effort that indicates hear fitness.
Gobi Nov 2018 9:51am, 23 Nov 2018 65,432 posts	0 Gobi I always keep the training and my comments simple Glenn I don't feel the need to make it hard
J2R Nov 2018 9:58am, 23 Nov 2018 1,561 posts	0 J2R Not sure about your last statement there, Steve. I think a lot more people are running now than 30 years ago, and there are undoubtedly far more people 'having a go', which makes it hard to compare 'masses'. Added to that, there are now far more races than there used to be, which means the fastest runners are spread more thinly (you don't usually get the same strength in depth in races you might have had 30 years ago). Nonetheless, I think your statement might still be true at the elite level. For example, the fastest 10 marathons run this year will probably be slower overall than the fastest 10 run 30 years ago (notwithstanding Mo Farah's stellar European record at Chicago).

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
