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!

Tempo run tonight, back to the Aerobic stuff tomorrow.

6 miles at c 6.52 mm, pretty much bang on 5k pace +30.

HR sat around the 170 mark, c.92% of max. Pretty steady the whole way through. First mile was 166, last 169. I don't know what any of this means, but I thought I'd share!

I thought that sounded a bit high on HR but then I did the maths and my lactate threshold is about 91.5% MHR so sounds about right!

I still think a 184 max is light, haven't had the chest strap in the hills for a proper wrecking session yet! The watch regularly got above 190 and occasionally spiked over 200.

If I can offer any comfort in the patience needed 8.4 miles at 8.38 pace avg HR 110

(This run was basically a mix of Z1 and low Z2)

It takes time and dedication but your pace will come up for these efforts

Wow, I spiked at 100 walking the dog this morning.

He's an over weight bull dog so that is largely the same effort as standing around holding a rope tied to a small boulder.

I was very pleased with a run on Friday evening, 15 miles at around 7:30 pace (faster than planned but was short of time), at a temperature of 29C. My heart rate was mainly around 140-145, so below 77% of my working HR, which was surprising to me considering the temperature. Encouraging heat adaptation there.

Given your top post, Paul, I'd agree that 184 is likely to be a bit low (I'd hazard 190-192).

I suggest that you warm up, then do uphill sprints carrying the dog.

Hello. I've had a little read back and thought I should give my heart rate a little more attention. I've attempted today's long run staying in zone 2. Mainly succeeded. Had to walk for short bits to get the rate down, especially running into wind. I ran same route as last week with more consistent pace. After finishing my legs feel tired but the rest of me feels good.

I'm getting better at this again, though again lots of walking. On the plus side, I'm able to run reasonable amounts every day.

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
