Club speed session was intervals not a tempo run, BUT i did keep the warm up 1.4 miles slow and avg hr for it was 148 :-) ...then I ran really fast :-)

LSR tomorrow of 19+ miles *gulp* and I'll keep hr below 70% somehow.

Looks reasonable to me. Slight drift in splits but not too bad.

Good to see warm up / cool down.

Walking or even stopping in the rests is not a porblem while you get into doing intervals.

making sure you put in even amounts of effort and finish the session feeling like you have worked hard is the most important.

Well done! :-)

Managed the whole run today under 70% with my HR average being 67% with not much of a drop in pace from when I was doing the LSR at 72-76%, so it worked :-) Felt incredibly strong from 13-17 miles and really enjoyed the run. Keeping the effort lower definitely ensured I had plenty energy for the whole run and didn't tire at the end. Only down side was that the run was very hilly, so naturally was hard and my legs ache abit tonight.
Anyway, first LSR success, so very happy.

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
