Did intervals this morning to see if I could test Max HR, nearly killed myself and Mx only reached 170, I did have to walk all the recoveries though so may have not been able to build up to max.

Lums, the fitter you get the harder it is to get the HR up there :l-)

lums, this is how i worked out my max (not that i'm recommending it)
1. decide to run on a treadmill for an hour.
2. after 45mins get bored and wonder how high you can get your HR
3. spend the final 15mins with 5 sets of sprint 1 minute, jog 2.
4. whilst lying whimpering on the floor check your HRM to see the max recorded bpm

Hi Lums
Just a thought, but 5am may not be the optimal time of day to push yourself so hard.
Physiologically, our metabolisms are only just getting going.
If times allows, couldn't you schedule in that kind of session later in the day at some point?

Good one eLBee, early morning is bad for me to do high impact stuff liek that too - just takes a lot more getting going...

Agreed, although I have done the session a number of times in the morning and never pushed it that hard. I'll try and do it later in the day next Wednesday.
Either that or I am supremely fit, but quite slow.

El Bee... just a quick comment about your 70% run. My perception from Parker is that 70% is the ceiling - i.e. don't go above this, rather than average that level.
When I do my 70% training runs, I keep it below 157. Normally in the first couple of miles my HR will be in the 140s, then without increasing the pace it gets into the 150s after that. For a 6 mile run where I'm at or below 157 for about 4 miles, my average is often 145, say, which is less than 65%.
Please someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is the correct way to approach these runs??
