Generally speaking Parker says walk it if you have to keep below 70% on a hill, but there is an allowance for a few bpm higher.

TheboyB,

I stick to moderate hills or flat where maintaining HR and Pace is manageable.

J, it is too big a guess to assume MFs issues in the morning are caused by flexability. A study over time including

Weather Conditions

Sleep patterns

Pace

General health

Route choice

would then give me a chance to analyse and make a more informed response.

depends on what part of your training cycle you are in.

When I briefly worked with a coach who was big on HR training through my winter BASE period my HR was not allowed over 149 and as such I was to slow down on all hills to make sure I never crossed that point.

Once out of base my HR was then allowed to go as high as necessary to complete the session at the desired pace.

Other sessions were still regulated by certain HR parameters

Roo - are you doing an out and back route ? Does your HR not drop on the way back down the hill ?

BM. Its the latter which buggers up any fell running I plan to train for. I think I could have crawled up the hill today and my HR would have stayed over 70%.

Maybe its time to re-assess what I'm considering high/low intensity running too.

TBB, If you look at my splits you can see which miles have been mostly uphill and which have been mostly downhill. I've been changing the pace dramatically to keep HR consistant.

It is very difficult to keep HR low but I've managed thus far. Crawl if you have to ;)

RooA,

Do you just like hills or is it your only option?

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
