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!

Gobi, not sure to be honest re: heart rate specifically. But as a general rule I would find runs to get easier the longer they go on - for common or garden 5 - 15 milers.

It's something I'll keep an eye on in future.

Mine get easier as they go as well but my heart rate is still very low when I run very slow.

Just wondered if maybe you had a heart rate spike early

No spikes, warm up and cool down at the start and finish. But other than that HR was pretty steady throughout

Lol @ dvorak. It's not that mad, but in the dark of the night it is quite bright, and wearing it on the upper arm it tends to be right in my wife's face when I'm sleeping.

Why can't that flashing be turned off?

Dunno! I suppose the device needs to give some user-feedback that it is working? It flashes red if the battery is low and white if there is no pulse detected (badly positioned, or I'm deceased)

Not a problem in practice, apart from if I'm wearing it in the night. When running you never see it.

Fitbit is the same for RHR. Mine typically reported around 46/47 but every night it will be down at 40/41 for a period.

Larks - I would use the lowest.

Amazing what a bit of heat vs a pleasant morning can do to heart rate.

Left hand side was two weeks or so ago in 27-28 deg heat. This morning the same route and same "attitude" (i.e. keep it nice and easy) in 13 deg pleasantness.

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
