Aug 2007 11:30am, 18 Aug 2007 9,697 posts	0 Girlie, I class a recovery run as anything below the recovery ceiling, i.e. < 70%WHR and les than say 7 miles for me but usually about four, five miles max and VERY easy say 65%WHR or less.

I get Heidi to feel for the lumps and massage them out; you can bet if your calves are feeling tight then you have some lumps and a massage will do them a power of good.
hellen Aug 2007 11:58am, 18 Aug 2007 1,389 posts	0 hellen thats a good weekly milage girlie well done. I used to have knee probs, got one fixed then the other started playing up. It might be worth you buying something called 'the stick' to massage your calves. I use it a lot on my IT band and calves. It helps get rid of the knots. the only place you can get it from in the UK is runners need (although they were selling them at FLM expo) thestick.net recovery run last night with OH on his bike. He had an annoying habbit of cycling jsut behind me so when I spoke to him he coudl hear me then I had to slow down to talk to him. Eventually I got him cycling alongside me!!! 7.3miles 67% WHR 10.35/mile. Did the same run last week (on my cutback week) HR was slightly higher and pace slightly slower last week so overall about the same. Am pleased at that though because this week has been a hard week for me, 2 doubles so far (although short ones), have run 6 days on the trot and if I complete the 30km on sun I will have broken the 50miles barrier which I have never done before. I must admit that my legs were feeling quite tierd yesterday and feeling ready for a break and this morning I am pleased I dont have to run today. Is that how I should feel or have I overdone it?
hellen Aug 2007 11:59am, 18 Aug 2007 1,390 posts	0 hellen runnersneed.co.uk this is where you can buy the stick, mine is the yellow one, worth the money, cost approx the same as a massage and last forever!!
Girlie Aug 2007 12:48pm, 18 Aug 2007 903 posts	0 Girlie I might get one of those, Hellen I have a large foam roller I use, you have to balance on it though and roll around to massage the sore bits.
hellen Aug 2007 12:59pm, 18 Aug 2007 1,393 posts	0 hellen that is quite good, I use it at the gym but the stick is far better
Hendo Aug 2007 4:49pm, 18 Aug 2007 8,974 posts	0 Hendo 10 miles at easy pace for me today, surprised at what that pace was though - 9:34 at 64%. 20 miles tomorrow. EEEEK.

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
