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!

Apologies, flippant and argumentative. I would have deleted this if I could.

Sorry All.

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!

Hmm..some say two minutes, some say five! It's like the various training regimes recommended and which are all so different. 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.

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.

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).

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
