That's interesting Ulric, I know people with similar stories and cancer, and also strokes. Genes seem to contribute very highly, although I know there's also the low birth weight theory creeping in as well.

Hills of Death (HOD)
I think Jim Fixx explained it best in his book (before he died of PCA whilst out running)
It's a points system and Diet is one factor, Exercise, Smoking, Family history, stress etc.
Unfortunately the only think in his favour was running and poss diet, he was a heavy ex smoker damaged was done plus his family history.
All you can do Ulric is take care and do best you can my GD died of CA aged 63

Thanks. Getting back to heart rates today in my 3k race my HR was 147 av, 154 max which is bizarrely low. Last race I had the monitor on back in Feb it was 156/168 which are typical figures for me. I've done a couple of longish bike rides this month (80M plus) and reps earlier in the week featured low HR. Never seen such a big drop, in fact the only race where I've averaged in the 140s before was one back in 2008 where I'd semi given up. I credit long bike rides last summer for my 10k masters pb but it wasn't accompanied by noticeable changes in race HR. It's going to be interesting to monitor how things go from now on.

Had a break waiting to see if a calf pain was serious. Thankfully, it seems to be clearing up. My first run this morning after a week off and my beats per mile is back up 40 bpm to previous levels. I'm beginning to think that tiredness or physical stress does cause heart rate drop to be depressed a little.

I am training for the Edinburgh marathon on 31 May, this will be my 7th marathon but this is the first time I have ever trained using a heart rate monitor. My PB is 3.46 in Loch Ness 2010, I feel like my training has been better than ever for a marathon apart from a couple of little injuries. My long run is up to 32.5km last Sunday with an average pace of 6.20 per km keeping to an average of 70 percent of WHR.
So my question is, with this info in mind, what is a reasonable expectation for an increase in pace for the race compared to training runs. I know Im asking how long a piece of string is, but Im curious about what others have achieved.
By the way, I have been following this thread for a couple of months and have gained some great insight into how to build a big aerobic base, so many thanks to those who have taken the time to share their knowledge.

I'm following this thread with interest, I read the first 70 odd pages and then fast forwarded a heap.....
I returned back to running about a year ago and gradually increased mileage over that time. Now I'm properly serious about my running I'm ready to increase my mileage again from about 70 miles per month to around 100 (ish) - therefore HR training seems to be the best way forward so I don't get injured, I have a tendency to run too hard in my easies and probably not hard enough in my hards, so having something tangible to hang my hat on seems like the way forward.
I ordered the idiot book to read, since that appears to be the go to bible (at least it was in the first 70 odd pages of posts)
