Hanneke Aug 2007 8:18pm, 14 Aug 2007 19,587 posts	0 Hanneke I have been told I don't put in enugh effort in my racing, so trying to find out if this is true...
Hanneke Aug 2007 8:18pm, 14 Aug 2007 19,588 posts	0 Hanneke And do I have to do difficult precent calculations to find out??? brrrrr, need help...
eL Bee! Aug 2007 8:18pm, 14 Aug 2007 725 posts	0 eL Bee! Hann - your Recovery Ceiling runs would be done at 147bpm
eL Bee! Aug 2007 8:20pm, 14 Aug 2007 726 posts	0 eL Bee! And your Harder session (Hills Tempo Intervals etc) at higher than 174 bpm
eL Bee! Aug 2007 8:22pm, 14 Aug 2007 727 posts	0 eL Bee! You have a decent running history in your legs, so you Long runs could be done up to a HR of 158bpm Anything else you want to know??? I assume your MaxHR is a tested one and NOT a calculated one!
Aug 2007 8:42pm, 14 Aug 2007 9,658 posts	0 Han it's dead easy to do, you just have two numbers to remember as ElBee has shown you. I agree with elbee the MAX test should be a proper max test and not a calulated one. More info: http://www.fetcheveryone.com/article-view.php?id=87
Hanneke Aug 2007 8:47pm, 14 Aug 2007 19,589 posts	0 Hanneke Yep, tested heartrate, done in 2005, when I had started out running and bought a cheap heartrate monitor I subsequently never used Ran hard and fast intervals for the purpose until I virtually collapsed...
Hanneke Aug 2007 8:48pm, 14 Aug 2007 19,590 posts	0 Hanneke Thanks eLBee, that saves me calculating I have always hated it, I am much better in languages than with figures Eeek, it has gone pitchblack outside and there is a storm raging, should I be afraid?
eL Bee! Aug 2007 8:48pm, 14 Aug 2007 730 posts	0 eL Bee! It'll be a pretty accurate one then! Perhaps to be repeated at some point - as it's 2 years old, but probably not necessary
Hanneke Aug 2007 8:50pm, 14 Aug 2007 19,591 posts	0 Hanneke So I used my HRM the other day for a 3 km run to see if I was up to doing a tri the next day. Was running at a hr of 150 doing just over 5 min/k's. That seems inconsistent then... as 5min/k is not supposed to be easy for me, it is race pace! So is my coach right and am I not pushing hard enough in races and can I be a lot faster if I want?

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
