There are some VERY quick runners who would advocate that approach, but the significant majority of people in that camp are not! Personally I think that it's horses for courses. You have a structure that works for you, and you are continuing to see improvement, and I think that the added bonus of running with the club will bring that process on even more so! And yes - your HR gives an indication of the effort and intensity for any particular run, given all the variables that can affect it!

I have several monitors that I have bought over the years that just sit and collect dust so I may as well start using them properly.

Mudskipper Jul 2007 11:04am, 29 Jul 2007 2,106 posts	0 Mudskipper Only joking! I am having difficulty finding a wborking heart rate. My heart rate climbs really quickly when I start running and then sits at approx 20 BPM over what should be an easy pace rate yet it still feels really easy. Anybody got any ideas?

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
