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

Well. It was a lovely sunny day, not the rain nad showers that were predicted, so I had to carry round my long sleeved shirt, and gloves.

Nervous as hell with the heat going up a bit, memories of London came flooding back. The plan was to just try and set a steady pace at 8:20 to get a PB (8:27 pace) !st mile 8:10, and managed to rein myself in for mile 2 which had a big ol hill in it - 8:26. Mind was still saying this is not going to happen, but head down and plod on - I was already averaging 90% at this stage and as mile 3 went in 8:13 I had fears of blowing up horribly.

Mile 4 I suddenly felt like I had got into a rhythm and the fact that I hadmanaged to stay relatively slow gave me a bit of confidence that the plan could work. 8:08.

Mile 5 - 8:01 and I decided to push the pace up a bit just to see how it felt. It felt bad as we turned inot a headwind and with hills at 8-9 coming I wanted to hold a bit back - 8:07.

4 miles to go - push on, and I started picking people off slowly 7.56 7.56 93% HR - 2 miles to go just tweak the pace - I was well under PB time and that is such a great feeling. Knowing I could PB with 2 x 9:30 miles gave me new energy.

MIle 9 - 7.43 and I started to feel it here now and it was a struggle, kept pushing, and finally saw the 400m to go, sign.

300m to go and I put the foot down - must have taken 5-10 people in the straight and crossed with a last lap of 7:27

AND, it looks like my new max is not 182 but 188!!!

Avge for the 10m was 170 which under new max is 87%

Cannot believe it's now 188 as that makes my 85% bliddy hard to reach now - boo.

I ran just for the sheer hell of it today, with no race target or training schedule to follow. Ended up doing a half marathon, because I could, and it was sunny and warm.

13.1 miles, av pace bang on 9mm, average HR 69%

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
