thechunkygentleman Jan 2009 5:41pm, 22 Jan 2009 86 posts	0 thechunkygentleman Cheers eL Bee. Intending to start running again at the weekend after a lengthy injury lay off and it would serve my purposes well to run slowly so a good couple of months of keeping the HR looks good.
Jan 2009 5:42pm, 22 Jan 2009 4,940 posts	0 RooA, Since we are sleeping at night our muscles naturally tighten abit and they tend to loosen as the day goes. So, it may be just poor flexibility but its most likely a combination of inflexiblity caused by too much running with poor efficiency. Either way maintaining optimal/excellent flexibility will be quite beneficial.

Your soft tissues will need time to re-adapt to the rigours of our silly sport, so by sticking to building your aerobic base, you'll also give your body a chance to strengthen up in a progressive way. Nothing inhibits the pursuit of fitness more than injury!

RooA Jan 2009 5:46pm, 22 Jan 2009 10,977 posts	0 RooA The Huff, But that tightening of muscles will happen irresepective of base flexibility, no? As I say, I'm stupidly flexible. But if I stretch in the morning I'm still less flexible then when I stretch at night... And as Gobi says, surely it is just one of the contributary factors that make morning running more 'difficult' than evening running.

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
