yeah I actually read the whole thread, I'm not really normally as I have a very low HR and can run around 8mm at 60%HR and if feeling good sometimes lower.

pabc - just read your post from the top of the last page
Good Plan

I ran my LSR's and Recovery runs for Last years FLM at 9-9:30 pace (60% WHR!) and did 3:16
SO probably trained a little on the slow side
But it's better to be 10% undertrained - than 1% overtrained!

ElBee I also run some of my easy runs between 9 and 10mm so I dont think that was a bad thing.

This thread is making me consider getting the old HRM out again and redoing my resting and max tests. Maybe my skin will be able to tolerate wearing the strap for a while just so I can see where I am these days.

I agree with that Gobi - In the context of mileage building and base building - I don't think there is anything that you could call 'junk' miles!

Some of my runs in India on the treadmill were incredibly slow - 11-12 minute miles in some cases, but I could still sustain an average pace of 8:09min/mile for the marathon. Slow pace and long time will always do you good.

Junk mileage is a myth as all time on feet helps

I coach people who run at 12mm and although I get very little HR work from it my legs still get a work out. I usually work on using my forefoot and knee lift drills as I run.

About This Thread

Maintained by Elderberry
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
