Brunski that's great progress. Is the parkrun flat out ?

Cheers both, yes very happy with how those comparisons came out, and even allowing for possible different conditions and even how I felt I still think there's progress.
Daz, the Parkrun last week definitely wasn't flat out. I felt tired from the additional miles this training has brought, and running a hilly 4 miles or so there also definitely meant I held back a bit (despite running at a higher HR than quicker runs in the past).
I really look forward to the day I can set out hard at a 5k and then hold 90-95% MHR for the distance. I've tried going out hard in the past on lower mileage (not really trained) and just died on my arse around the 3-4K mark. This was what attracted me to this training as hopefully (in time) I can build up the HR I can maintain and maybe kick out some improved times?

Huntsman, I'd not be a I'd to run 84% MHR for 5 miles I don't think. Stick at it and keep an eye on your watch/phone for the HR. Dos it d alerts based on HR?

I normally keep an eye on my watch and I will for the next SubLT.

Hi brunski Interesting trend with your pace increasing whilst your heart rate falls. has that trend continued? Been considering running much ofmy weekly mileage at 70 % WHR for a while to see i it improved my aerobic cpcity.

Hi bakedbeano, it's too early to tell for me really. I'm in my 3rd week of upping the mileage in this manner, but was training for a marathon on October 9th so got in reasonable shape for that. I had a foot injury just after and then decided to give my own version of Hadd a try...
Since getting my hrm I've been keeping a log of runs at below 140bpm after reading a Mark Allen (triathlete) piece, and that became my easy pace for commuting but I was mixing that up with intervals and hill work, etc. This time I'm going to try (as much as I can) to stick to the HR bands as prescribed in the article linked at the side ->
So far so good, but very early days. Managing to get up to 60 mile weeks with much of that at low heart rate through trying to run an hour a day...it's certainly not hurting. I have a 10k 2 weeks in Sunday, where I'll 'give it some' as need to improve on my 39:10 PB.

Loads to catch up on here and not really been on to keep up. I've been seeing almost constant improvement which is unusual, and I'm way ahead of where I expected to be just now.
Logged 86 miles last week. This week sub LT came in at 6:57/mile for 81.7% yesterday (Baz - to answer a question from a few pages back, I've had these down to 6:10/mile previously but never converted that to MP). Then today knocked out a 75% 15 miler and it came in at 7:29/mile. Just going to keep on and hope the improvements continue. Won't be too annoyed when the platuea arrives.
Congrats on a sneaky sub 3 Westley

How often do you do LT runs on HADD ? Are they 80-85%

The links over there are worth reading HOD ----------->
Sub LT's are 10 milers twice a week ideally.
