15.50miles @70%-80%HR(Aerobic Zone)time = 2hrs 38mins, I did set out to do 5miles BUT as i was really enjoying this session, i thought I'd keep going so headed out into the countryside and just ENJOYED the moment (anyone else get those moments?)
At 15miles my legs started sending signals of "Either stop" or "Speed Up" (sounds daft I know) well I've felt this twice before during a multi terrain Marathon BUT then I had a sever ache in groin and another time a sever ache in my back BUT today I was pain free, so I thought for half a mile I'm gonna push on and see what happens, WELL I managed to hit 7.55m/m and was still speeding up at the end, so I now feel confident of a good result in Norwich half Mara on sunday (I'm really ready)
HR training really has helped my stamina/endurance and speed, its also help me stay injury free by NOT over training, IF I wasn't racing on Sunday I WOULD be out tomorrow doing a 70%run (I'm gonna have to put my trainers out the way tonight or I WILL be out lol)
Any newbies to HR training reading this and not getting good results "STICK" with it as HR Training really does work

9 miles @68 % today , yesterday was just under 9 miles.
I am trying to do some medium long runs in the week but unfortunalty tues and wed are my only options whcih is not ideal, tues is running club so I run a bit before, a bit after (nice and slow) then the bit in the middle is at a comfortable-hard pace. on wed I have, for the last 2 weeks (since I started this new idea) done around 9 miles. On my wed run both times my legs have felt quite tierd (tues run is pm wed is am), I am wondering if as I get used to it I will feel less tierd on a wed?
When I started doing doubles (not doing them now) initially on the second run of hte day my legs felt tierd but after a few weeks they were ok so was wondering if the same will be the case

Absolutely smashed my max HR value tonight. Highest I've measured before was 183, and that was during a sprint at the end of a 5k, followed by nearly vomiting. Tonight I've done some 400m intervals, no nearly vomiting, and hit 190.
Whats that all about then ?

Sounds like you improved as you have be able to push yourself harder. So you must be in better condition. Sometimes if you arent feeling too well or have been overtrained or arent fully recovered before you try a max heart rate test it is difficult to get it up to its true reading.
I did a 5 mile race on Saturday and my average hr was 176bpm the highest average I have had before in a race. Previous to this it was 173bpm. Is this because I have raised my lactate threshold by doing tempo runs?
Also I am planning on doing my first marathon in May. I am going to do the Windermere one as I didnt get a place in the London marathon. I was thinking of getting Advanced Marathoning by Pete Pfitzinger. Has anyone used it before and what do you think?

Pfitzinger & Douglas is a VERY good book. The explanations of the different sessions and what they do and what they are for is really accessible, and the Schedules are very good!
It's difficult to say whether you have raised your LT with Tempo runs (although that IS the point of them!) but with prolonged and consistent training, you WILL find that you can hold a higher HR for a longer period!
Boingy - it could be that you are simply fitter and stronger, and able to push out those interals more effectively than you could before!
190 is unlikely to be a 'blip' on the HRM, so your figures can all be adjusted up!

Definitely not a blip Bee. I had a look at my HR trace on sporttracks and it shows my peak HR getting higher and higher with each interval I did, I think I did the last 4 peaking over my previous max HR ! I'm just a bit surprised as I didn't feel anywhere near as knackered at the end of last nights sessions as I did after my 183bpm run. I guess thats the nature of intervals though, gradually pushing your HR up through the session.
I'm happy as it means an extra 5bpm on my 70% runs which will make them a lot more enjoyable ! (no more walking up hills :-))

Hi all,
I've been "running grey" since Cardiff Half - I felt the need to rebuild my mojo somewhat after a difficult race, and also an eventful couple of weeks. But I can feel the old legs are ready for more now, so it's time to get me strap on, and start getting a bit of structure back in my training plan.
That was all really - except to say that I'll be back on this thread a bit more often
Cheers
Me

OK Lord Fetch. I have 2 comments.
1. I too have been running grey. I put that down to having a wife and 2 daughters, bloody wimmin.
B. We will have none of that saucy 'get me strap on' talk around here. Do you think you pwn the uplaod codez?*
*Oh! Yeah, you do.
