KS I have 4 zones
below 70%
70-75 (for LSR)
75-85 grey area
85+ tempo/intervals
i find it interesting looking at how much of my run is in the preoper zone. The best I did was on a very low run , around 63% where jsut about the whole run was below 70%. If I do a run of about 6 miles at 68% I find that a mile or so will be in the grey area. this really surprised me as when I go above 70% I do slow down.

i suspect i'll slip in a extra zone covering 70-75% myself which would be upto 156 for me.
I to found that it takes a while to reerse HR climb, i knew i was going slower during the run when the alarm goes off yet HR was still climbing. Probably partly due to the averaging time period of the Garmin no doubt.
That leads to the vital question of how many alerts in a row can you ignore before walking as i try to drop it down by slowing down first.

Thanks for all the kind words. I'm not going anywhere. 
I sometimes wish I would listen to my own advice. I've just done a half marathon having had a cold for the last few days. Result was not pretty, a personal worst on that distance for this year - 11 minutes slower than I did teh same course last year.
My resting heart rate is currently 75 too so I think that is telling me something. Normally within a couple of hours after a race it's back down to fifty ish sitting here on Fetch.
I think I'm poorly, well I know I am, I'm shivering, can't get warm and feel proper shite. I'm not saying this to get any sympathy because I don't deserve it. I was stupid to go and do it. I just thought I'd post this to maybe help any of you make the decision if and when you need to. Basically don't race with a cold - it isn't worth it... One girl on the race blacked out - I hope she's ok, the organisers had to get an ambulance I think...

((((((((((ianm)))))))))))) sorry to hear that it all went a bit pear shaped - but as you said you're sick. definitely by the sounds of it. I thought of you as I was legging (or walking!) it round RP this morning. Go and get a blanket round you, a hot cuppa cocoa and put your feet up. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx p.s. hope the girl is ok, that's scary stuff

hope you feel better soon Ian, you do sound poorly, I would do the same though, I hate to miss a race, specially if I have paid!
kstuart, when i did have the HRM beeping at me I would set it to start a few beats below my 70% ( mine is 149 so it would start at 145) at first i had to walk to get it down but now i just slow a bit and try and relax and it tends to stop 0%climbing before it reaches the 149.

get well soon ian
RT i could drop it down a few BPM i suppose but i'm sure given a bit of time i'll be better at judging when to slow or when to walk as well as hopefully not going hard enough to trigger it in the first place

Aww Ian Hope you are feeling better soon. I hope the girls ok
Thats the hard bit though taking your own advice. I'm guilty of that as well. Forget about the result today get yourself better.
Rebel - I'm sure you'll be ok. When you come back running you'll probably want to ease back in gently so it will probably be an ideal way to train
Todays run went better than i thought woke up after 10 hours sleep felt tired and didn't fancy running 8 miles, it was windy raining a bit. I did a 4 and a bit mile route twice reached halfway in 42:26 then seemed to perk up feeling more alive and finished in 1:23:46 (you do the maths- a negative split) all done @ 66% whr did go over 148 a few times (i blame the wind) thats my 70% but was quite satisfied with run 8th mile run in 9:51 145hr (68%)
Considering i've not run this far in months well 12 to be exact last years Dublin Marathon was the last time i ran further than today

(((Ian))) hope you are soon feeling better. It sounds like you shouldn't have raced, but I can see why you did!
Maybe you are vulnerable to bugs after your recent op.
Follow Sarah's advice, ( put a brandy/whisy) in the cocoa though!

(((IAN))))
Here is more evidence that I am not normal/
last dec I did a HM with flu. I am the sort of person who never has time off work sick. However the week before the HM I had 2 days off which goes to show how bad I was.
I wanted to do the HM cos I had paid and cos last year I paid and was injured so couldnt run
I got a PB!!!!
