Northern Exile Sep 2014 11:43am, 15 Sep 2014 3,428 posts	0 Northern Exile Sorry for slow response on this. Yes, quite, the little sod should be financing his own bloody beer consumption. I am very disappointed by the lack of paid work over the summer (he has a lifeguard job at the local pool), a clear indicator to me that I've been too bloody generous. I've just stopped supporting his older brother - who now has a job of sorts - so it doesn't FEEL too bad, but the truth is ugly. He's away visiting his mother at the moment, then straight back to uni when he gets back. There will be a reckoning, I'm telling you!
Gobi Oct 2014 6:04am, 4 Oct 2014 54,602 posts	0 Gobi So who monitors their resting HR ? I can be lazy and have a habit of setting my RHR and Max yearly even though I do sporadic checking As my birthday approaches I am now analyzing the last year to confirm my MHR for next year and will track my RHR quite heavily over the next month. Funnily enough it seems my stats support my once a year update :¬)

dibbers Oct 2014 8:27am, 6 Oct 2014 111 posts	0 dibbers Gobi - isn't beats per mile dependent on how fast you run that mile?
daviec Oct 2014 8:48am, 6 Oct 2014 4,723 posts	0 daviec Only to a certain degree. My bpm once it settles out is pretty steady across the range of speeds I run. The distance has more effect on it. The first mile or so sees my HR rise and settle, so they always show lower bpm than the rest. In a short run this will have a bigger effect on the overall average. It means a fast 5k looks as if the bpm is lower than for a HM, but if you look at the third mile of the 5k it's probably pretty close to the HM average. I did 55 miles last week without the HRM. This was mainly because I've lost it somewhere, but it was good to be without it for a wee while and just run. Once I get another 50+ week under my belt I'll have a look for it and control the runs a bit better.

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
