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!

:) The article is back. I looked yesterday and there was nothing there. I will scuttle off and read and then hopefully go out for a run this evening when Mrs Mud wakes from her slumbers and check numbers.

Then yes - I think some HR work - to build some Base Endurance - along with some specific hill sessions as your harder sessions will be good!
The climbing part need the base fitness and the leg strength!

mud, before I got a HRM I used to do my LSR at around 9.20/mile. this didnt feel hard but wouldnt describe it as easy either.
When I got a HRM I read somewhere (not parker) about LSR being 70-78% so this made me slow down to just under 10/mile, this felt really slow and easy and usually equated to 76-78% WHR.

Then I read parker and now do my LSRs between 70-75%, they tend to be around 72 % and the pace is nearer 10.30/mile. this feels easy but not as easy as when I first did that pace.
What I am trying to say is that something may feel easy and you may feel that it is easy enough (like my LSRs of 77%) but Parker says you can do even easier, which initially is hard to slow yourself to do but now it feels fairly normal

OK BrianMac's site gives me for my age and resting heart rate of 58bpm

Max Heart Rate 184bpm

Working Heart Rate 126 bpm

Lower Training Zone 70% which is a Heart Rate of 146 bpm

Upper Training Zone 80% which is a Heart Rate of 159 bpm

So I will put these in to the HRM and see what happens tonight.

I did my first 10k today having done the majority of of my training sub 70%WHR. A 'Great' run so started running before the start and by the time I crossed it I was at 150(73%). The average overall was 85%..bang on what parker says..wasn't planning it just went with what I felt I could cope with and picked the pace up towards the end when I felt I could.

I really couldn't care what the science can prove at the moment or even if the HR can give me good feedback. I ran a 10k race and had a great time and can't wait for the next one.

Oh and this red wine is fantastic...

PS Swansea Bay 5k 7th August..cert PB ;-)

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
