tarange, don't you find it harder on the dreadmill to get to hr levels?
But in answer to your question, yes it should be okay, because, essentially your heart doesn't know what surface you're running on.....its exercising regardless.

Ange - easy on the treadie should work fine. That's the great thing about HRMs - it doesn't matter that running at a given pace on a TM is easier, because you just keep to 70% and so you know you are putting in the right effort without having to worry about whether you are making up for being indoors or not :)

If you were running at 90-98% I don't think you should be too disappointed, you obviously were working hard!

Did you get 171 from a formula or through running until you think you are going to die?

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
