Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

can you recommend a book Kieren?
I'm hoping to pick up a copy of Parker while in NY and might as well bring back any other useful ones as well.

SR- I've added you to my list :-)

Parker is the only book I'd recommend. It slowed me down (good) and finally made me understand a lot of the training plans I had read about.

You can google everything you need on Lydiard - there was a forum somewhere online where he had detailed training plans. I'll have a hunt around and see if I can find it. I used to link it from my website so google cache or webarchive might be able to help me there

Well, I also had a quick flick, the technical bits hurt my head and the talk of 100 mile weeks scared me. So for now I think I'll just aim to get my slow runs under 70% and make sure I actually do them instead of finding excuses not to, and leave the complicated bits for later.

Anne- I find that on my Long slow runs ( 10 miles +) towards the end of the run, usually the last mile or so, my HR creeps up, that's quite normal. I think it was me reaching the end of my natural endurance as it only happens in the last mile or so of any long run, so in the last few weeks it didn't happen until I was on mile 13-15 of a 14-18 mile run.

It is frustrating at the start, trying to keep below 70%, but stick with it and you will see an improvement.

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....

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
