Hi all.
So.just done first run using HRM 3 miles trying to stay under 70% WHR 159 bpm. Didn't realise how hard that could be! Felt like i was walking for 50% of the time and certainly at the site of an hill.
Still, managed to average 156 bpm even though it was so slow.
Reading the thread this seems to be a common theme when starting so hopefully things will get better with perseverance.
On a brighter note felt relaxed and happy when finished instead of knackered and wheezy, faster run to do on wednesday so will see how that goes.

Well done on your first HRM run Prospector. It does take time and will get very frustrating, but is worth it in the end:-) You will end up walking the hills to start with, i struggle with a particular incline round our way, but can now run up it albeit very slowly!

That happened to me at the start- it is well documented in my blogs of May/June! But it did come together in July and got me round NY in one piece!
It is a long process though. If it helps, I have a custom screen on my Garmin showing HR, Time and Distance, then I'm not distracted by the pace. That sorts itself out.

Hi all,
wore my strap for the first time in months, on a 9.66 mile (that's long at the moment) run. I've always been able to keep under 150bpm on LSR's, whilst managing about 8.50/mile, but I spent an hour of the 90 minutes in the 150-168 bracket (although I came away with an average of 152), and averaged 9:08/mile.
Mitigating factors:
1) The route was more undulating than I'm used to
2) The wind was chronic in places
3) It was my longest run in 6 weeks.
4) Last time I started using the HR strap, it came down pretty quickly over a couple of weeks as I got used to running smoothly and in a relaxed manner.
I'm gradually upping the volume of my training now, so it'll become more important that I protect myself on my LSR, so I'll be looking to stay in the 70% zone a bit more stringently - but for now I am running about 3 times a week, which is leaving plenty of time for recovery I think.
That's all really - sorry for barging in to the thread - have fun 
Cheers
Fetch
