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
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

The Parker book has something about other sports in it - anyone got one to hand? Mine has been borrowed.

I hope your wrong Hendo! To be honest I have been getting a bit frustrated at my lack of improvement from this bout of HR training which I have been doing strictly now for over 8 weeks with no noticeable change. If tonights stats turn out to be correct and not a one off, I will be a very happy bunny

I thought cycling was your running ranges less 10% or approx 5 bpm

Just to back up what Hendo said Deenzy, I too see a noticeable drop in HR the day after a long run. Was wondering what causes it today in fact.

Cycling is definitely slower I would knock off 10 bpm personally. 170 bpm run for me is easy but 170bpm on the bike is eyeballs out!!

I can go much higher on the bike but that's because I'm a crap runner. My max of 196 comes on the bike and I can stay in the high 180's for about a minute. 175 feels similar running but it used to feel that way in the mid 150's which is my 70% so it just goes to show I'm a less crap runner than I used to be :)

My resting HR is 52, I generally complete long runs between 137 /145, and rise to 172+/-, I am happy with that

Nice one Hendog :-)

Gobi: This is taken from the book, doesn't say a lot but a suggested schedule says...

Mon 30 < 70%
Tues 5 mile warm up, 20 miles @ 80% to 85% of max
Wed 30 miles < 70%

Thurs 5 mile warm up, 10 miles @ 80 to 85% of max, 10 miles of hill jams at 90 to 95% of max
Fri 30 miles at < 70%
Sat 30 miles at < 70%
Sun 75 miles at 70 to 75%

I assume (it doesnt say) that the ones where it says max it means percentage of maximum heart rate rather than WHR?

It also says that you should resist the temptation to break the less than 70% as much as possible.

Great to see that people are starting to see some rewards for their efforts and perserverance too. Good running everyone, enjoy :-)

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
