J2R
Interesting example of what happens when you don't warm up properly today. I was at a place called Monsal Head, in the Peak District, and decided I would run the quite considerable ascent back up to the car park from the viaduct, a combination of track and steps. It took me 1 minute 43 seconds and at the end I was really gasping and felt my heart was going to burst out of my chest. Yet the actual max heart rate I reached was only 124 bpm. Clearly my heart was just not keeping up with the sudden demand I was making on it and I was getting into oxygen debt. I imagine if I'd run for 15-20 minutes first, my heart rate would have climbed much more rapidly. This is something which apparently occurs as you get older - your heart rate getting slower to rise. (I turn 60 later this month).

Interesting J2R. I have found that as I get older it's become much more important to warm up properly.

I've always had to warm up. We used to have a running group 15 years ago and I was often just off the back through the first few miles as my legs loosened up.
These days my log shows a first km or 2 often at 6 plus when come the end I'm running 4.30 4.40

Fragile Do Not Bend
I’ll post what I put in a new thread, not knowing there was an active thread on this subject. So to save me looking back though the entire thread...
It’s the first time in years that I’ve run with a heart rate monitor (got a new watch with a wrist sensor), so I can’t remember anything about what zones I should be aiming to be in for different types of training and how to work out my zones.
Has anyone got a link to a good beginners guide to heart rate zones training?

(Worth adding that those Zones referred to by Gobi are Heart Rate Reserve zones - MaxHr-RestingHR is the bit you apply the %age to, and the add back in the RestingHR)

Only you can make simplicity sound more complicated than it is Larks:-)
