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!

Thanks both, I hadn't been staying upto date on thread so didn't realise I'd jumped into middle of a chat but not felt ignored when realised.

(For clarity my bpm ref was beats per minute during session, I do find beats per mile useful reflection post session).

Dvorak RPE feels same, pace is defo slower too so I feel that, perhaps more in my aging ego though 😅

Hi folks. I haven't come across a HR training book but I haven't looked to hard either. If you fancy a free book then have a look at my blog.

Thanks to years of keeping records of my HR and BPM and noting a change for the worse (an inability to run for more than about 30 seconds and at a slower pace than had been the case when I could run for two hours at 145 average and feel fine) I had full heart scans, lung checks, (both ok) and then referred to COVID consultant. Tests, exercise stress test, blood tests etc and questions about my COVID infections of which I had had twice and relating it to dates of HR change were carried out. Outcome: inappropriate autonomic nervous response to exercise and typical of individuals experiencing long COVID. I can only sustain a thirty second run and a HR of around max 125 and average around 115 and even that's a struggle! Currently five weeks into a medication trial but no improvement yet. Might have to accept my plod/walking regime will continue for a long time yet!

Moral of this post?! Sometimes one's HR and ability is compromised because of infections!

Sorry to hear that Steve, it's good you have the data to point that out and the doctors don't just dismiss it out of hand. Hope they can find something that works for you.

Sorry to hear about that, Steve. There's a lot we have yet to learn about the manifestations of Covid. I hope with time you can shake it off.

Well it's been over three years and I almost can't believe it! I've continued running/walking throughout this period and thankfully enjoy it...up to a point! Thanks for the good wishes folks.

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
