Girlie Oct 2007 11:01pm, 25 Oct 2007 1,425 posts	0 Girlie can you recommend a book Kieren? I'm hoping to pick up a copy of Parker while in NY and might as well bring back any other useful ones as well. SR- I've added you to my list
Kieren Oct 2007 11:37pm, 25 Oct 2007 2,237 posts	0 Kieren Parker is the only book I'd recommend. It slowed me down (good) and finally made me understand a lot of the training plans I had read about. You can google everything you need on Lydiard - there was a forum somewhere online where he had detailed training plans. I'll have a hunt around and see if I can find it. I used to link it from my website so google cache or webarchive might be able to help me there

Girlie Oct 2007 1:40pm, 26 Oct 2007 1,427 posts	0 Girlie Thanks as well Kieran, I had a quick flick, it seems a lot more technical than Parker.
anne23 Oct 2007 1:59pm, 26 Oct 2007 33 posts	0 anne23 Well, I also had a quick flick, the technical bits hurt my head and the talk of 100 mile weeks scared me. So for now I think I'll just aim to get my slow runs under 70% and make sure I actually do them instead of finding excuses not to, and leave the complicated bits for later.

Girlie Oct 2007 2:24pm, 26 Oct 2007 1,428 posts	0 Girlie Anne- I find that on my Long slow runs ( 10 miles +) towards the end of the run, usually the last mile or so, my HR creeps up, that's quite normal. I think it was me reaching the end of my natural endurance as it only happens in the last mile or so of any long run, so in the last few weeks it didn't happen until I was on mile 13-15 of a 14-18 mile run. It is frustrating at the start, trying to keep below 70%, but stick with it and you will see an improvement.

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
