rosehip, I'm lucky, nobody moves very early on a Sunday morning in our house, so getting up early and doing the lsr while they are all asleep seems to be family friendly

Yep that's what I do when I can - it's when one of them has a scout hike or is scuba diving or similar that it falls down I run so slowly that to be back by 7am or whatever is required is a stupid-o'clock start!

Yes, since starting running I rarely have a late Saturday night, but it's no hardship.

Rosehip - thats partly why HR training may not be for everyone. It does seem to need volume to get the best effects - that said you can still use HR to guide the pace you train at....

I couldn't do my long runs early in the morning, but that's a whole other topic. Life would be so much easier if I was a lark

that's interesting - having been givn the Garmin for Chritmas yr before last I bought Parker's book and don't believe he mentions volume at all - and has plans for beginners which is where I started.
One needs to have some pace or a lot of spare time before 50 mile weeks are feasible - for me it would be 10 hrs running a week - too much for me to consider anyway.
but yes, I do use the HR to control the s of an lsr and keep the general stuff on the slow side of getting injured.

I wasnt saying dont do it - just that the best results come with more volume.....and regardless the HRM does help you manage effort in a betetr way than perceived effort which I think takes a fair bit of learning

Using heart rate to manage effort level on long runs when you first start building up your distance is a really good thing to do, I think. Being able to do 20-milers to perceived effort is something that comes with having done lots of them. Your brain develops the ability to take account of the distance and of the condition you're in and select an effort level that's sustainable throughout.
