Wouldn't you expect the final rep of a session like this to be very close Gobi? And how would a max test differ exactly?

Glenn,

You are just a panzy..lol

I was nauseous the other day on a tempo run but wasn't any where near maxhr levels.

Very possible Glenn

MrH - have you ever bothered to do that Max test or is that number still your approximation ?

Glenn - it was actually just a genuine question, not really meant as provokative.

Jeremy - don't jump at the comment I just wanted to know

Lol.

Glenn - you might be too knackered to reach the max.

Glenn,

I agree with Gobi. You should do a proper maxhr test if you want a test number. Sorry for being humorous :(

Glenn,

On the sessions performed I don't think you came as close to maxhr as you would ins proper test or at the end of a 5km race Sprint.

J, in fact I now know you're right. Went back through my data and I hit 165 during the final uphill sprint of a 5k back in July, wearing suitable clothing, so it's not less than that.

Wasn't at all bothered by the humour J. :-)

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
