Hendo Jan 2009 3:23pm, 13 Jan 2009 20,834 posts	0 Hendo Hi hellen Okay, roo - as you know when you start off HR training for an endurance base, the magic number is 70%, and stay below that. The other magic number is 85% Runs should be either sub 70% or 85% plus The bit in between is the grey area. When you've established an endurance base, these numbers become less important, but for the next few months you are their bitch.
RooA Jan 2009 3:27pm, 13 Jan 2009 10,438 posts	0 RooA Am I allowed in the grey area at all ever? What's my 85% HR number? (brain mush - I'm telling you)

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
