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?
This is a bit of a lengthy one and it doesn't talk directly about HR training as such. I know it's talking rowing not running BUT it's actually talking physiology in endurance sports. It explains really well the benefits of building a really good aerobic base and how that will help with peak performance.
That's basically what this thread is all about right?
Just shy of 15 miles this afternoon. Average Pace 10.59, Average HR 131.
25 seconds a mile quicker than Friday of pretty much the same average HR. Notably spent as much time trying to get the heart rate up to 130 as I did down to 130.
Route was half trail with enough hills to make it interesting, weather certainly more challenging.
An enjoyable run all in all, and a move in the right direction.
Nellers, haven't watched your vid yet, but you might enjoy the Extramilest Show podcast. Very focused on this topic and specific to running. Sage Canaday also does a lot on his youtube channel
TO be honest, though, with my Achilles issues I'm more an indoor rower than a runner these days so what this guy is talking about is right up my Strasse.
Yes Gobi. Bought one December 2018. It's in my shed. At the moment I'm rowing maybe 4 to 6 sessions a week in amongst everything else I'm trying to do.
The bit in the video that I thought was most helpful was an analogy to jumping for height.
Say you are 6 feet tall and you can maybe jump and reach to 10 feet. That 4 foot jump height is your anaerobic capacity and you can train it a bit. Maybe with training you can get yourself to jump to 11 feet but you'll struggle to do much more. It's quite limited, although fairly quick to train.
Your aerobic/base/low HR training isn't training you to jump. It's building a box for you to stand on so you're already above the ground before you jump. If you do enough aerobic base training over time you can build a really big stable box that you can jump off and maybe the box will be another 5 or 6 feet off the ground in the end and you're jumping from there.
I agree on the Concept2. When I first did for my Achilles I went to the local gym and as luck would have it the only thing at that stage that didn't hurt for cardio was the C2. I got addicted.
I got my "5 Million Metres Club" shirt from Concept 2 earlier this year.
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
