Oh, so HR might get up high then. Sounds a tough session, might do that later in the week.

I'd say that unless you're an elite runner that intervals like that are a bit senseless, but hey, I'm not a coach, an expert, or indeed write schedules!

Thanks Hendo :)

I am trying to find one without latex on the transmitter belt and it seems to be easier said than done
Im guessing that there would be no way of covering the transmitter, either, and still have it work?

Give them a call barking and see what they say, there may be options. I don't know of any though, not ones that'll take your HR continuously anyway.

Morning All. I really need some help from experienced Fetchies. I've been using a Suunto t6 Hrm for about 6 months now and have been very happy with it. The problem is on my last 3 or 4 runs my Hr appears to be jumping all over the place. Last night, for example, I'm trotting along @ 140 bpm and then it shot up to 162 although it didn't feel any different - breathing no harder no greater perceived effort at all so I slowed right down and it immediately dropped to 133 and the whole run continued the same up and down like the Assyrian empire! Prior to the last week any changes have been very gradual and controllable. So my question is:- is it me or is it my HRM? I'm very confused and would value your thoughts. Thanks.

200 metre intervals are good for leg speed, form, running economy etc.
They may seem a bit short but they do have their benefits as do all methods of training.
Speed is good to teach you about pain which is important too.
You don't have to be an elite runner to do fast work Hendo, it is all relative.:-)

Belper Bear - have you changed the batteries? Is it contacting properly?

Everyone - I have come to the conclusion that to help people get into the steady heart rate for the whole run thing a treadmill would be a good idea. It does away with any fluctuations in perceived effor, pace etc. You can forget about pace as usual but for the people who are unable to tehy will see a satisfyingly uniform pace as well as heart rate for the run.

I never wear my HRM strap now BUT I use a treadmill every day to get a 65%WHR run which gives me at least 16 miles (usually 20) of slow running every week regardless of what else I do.

Just a few thoughts...

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
