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!

Yeeee-eeess about Abingdon, it's a kind of planny type plan thing. Not exactly got sign-off from Mrs L, and I intend to run like the wind at RNR a few weeks previously. Plus there is the Standalone 10k which is my local race and I suspect will be the subject of a certain amount of posturing, side-bets and testosterone charged challenges with Joopsy around then as well.

HOWEVER, on the train this morning I had time to reflect on the weekend and we ran 15miles with a short break at 8miles, and it was on an empty stomach with just 500ml of water. And it felt GOOD. Nice slow pace, but HR was lowest ever for that kind of run. And it did get me thinking about another 11.2m and a marathon medal!

Quite impressed by the way my fitness seems to be improving with regard to heart rate for a given effort.

Managed 3.11 miles in 00:24:55 08:01 at 61%WHR which is great considering I ran reasonably hard all weekend and raced yesterday.

Maybe this is an example of what can be achieved with a treadmill? I reiterate what I said earlier, maybe it's worth while some of you giving the treadmill a shot?

Good work Lums. :-)

Treadmill bad. LOL. If I could get near one I would try it. But outside is so much closer at the moment.

I feel the need to rebel soon though. I haven't been told off by anyone on this thread for ages. At this rate I will train all year and get faster and faster - no where is the fun in that!?

Tempo tomorrow am - 1m warm up - 4m @ 8min pace, 2m warm down. Am mixing Hr training with the benefits of running with someone else (Joopsy) and it has reinvigorated me somewhat. Also 8mm is probably 85% for both of us.

Lums are you doing too much speedwork before getting your endurance base up to a decent level?

There you go.

About This Thread

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
