did my double yesterday or perhaps it was a triple not sure!!!
am run was 3.4miles 71% (ooops slightly over)
pm ran to body pump 2.9 miles (68%)
pm ran back from body pump 1.7 miles (66%)

I have now run too and from body pump for the last 3 weeks and this weeks runs were much slower than the last 2 weeks, I assume that was due to doing a run in the am. As I get more practiced at doubles will the pm one become less slow?
Also, since my pm one was so slow, if I were to do doubles on an interval day does that mean I should do the intervals in the am?

Hellen, I think it's a matter of preference or for some practicality. For example my interval sessins are done with the club in the evening. If I have run that morning or lunchtime I make sure that I run easy. then I can give it everything in the intervals session.

I've added my info in.

Got a new 10k pb on Sunday but just missed going under the 50m mark. Here are the splits and HR figures:

KM TIME AHR MHR
01: 5:08 162 169
02: 4:55 167 174
03: 4:53 172 176
04: 4:59 172 174
05: 4:54 173 175
06: 5:31 174 176 (Hill)
07: 4:51 173 175
08: 5:08 175 178 (tiring now when I should be speeding up)
09: 5:09 175 177
10: 4:47 179 181 (found a little bit at the end, but not enough)

Overall time 50:18 AHR 172 = 87%

Recovery pace run - but aiming for 2 hours on feet for some super mitochondria building!<br>
Job Done on that count! :-)<br>
It was raining - and I LOVE running in the rain, so this was just brilliant miles for me - and at a decent time of day as it was with Velociraptor in her 'lunch break'<br>
No HR stats today as WearLink strap had gone awol, and the battery in my old strap has finally died :o(<br>
But it will have been 62-65% and there won't have been a beat above 157! :-)

Hi HR folk...can you answer a question for me please?

When I run (without a proper warm-up) my HR goes very high before settling down, even if I start slowly. Is this normal? A mate said it was just the monitor not reading properly.

Homer,

Most common problem is the HRM strap not connecting properly until you sweat enough to make a good contact. Always wet the strap with saliva or salt water or similar to get a good contact.
Usually it takes a little while for the heart rate to speed up to start with...

Homer - Agree with Ian, it's most likely to be a poor contact on your strap! Get it really wet before you start off, and you should see more consistency.
Physiologically, if you run at x-pace, your HR will gradually increase until it is working at the optimal rate for that effort, It doesn't shoot up and then settle back down again!

So, how do I go about this HR training thing then? My RHR is 39, NHR is 198... so for example, what should an easy run be like?

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
