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?
