Gobi Feb 2015 1:33pm, 13 Feb 2015 55,216 posts	0 Gobi So have we all given up on heart rate training? Mine is going well, just done 1.7 miles at 7.41 avg for 943 beats Things are looking good, more surprised as I am battling a cold and only trotted to the bank and back with a ruck sack on. Have also redone my HR zones for this year
tipsku Feb 2015 3:59pm, 13 Feb 2015 313 posts	0 tipsku I'm still doing HR training, Gobi. I've just recovered from a bad cold and started with some nice and easy runs this week. The idea of redoing the HR zones also crossed my mind; I have a session planned at the gym tonight to reassess my zones. I wish I'd get my bpm as low as you do. On easy runs it was in the 1300s before the cold, but after the cold I was up to 1512 on my first outing, then 1426 and today 1336 which is basically where I was before. On tempos or speed sessions, however, I get it down to 1200-1250. Still a long way to go though.
GlennR Feb 2015 4:03pm, 13 Feb 2015 12,521 posts	0 GlennR Never do anything else myself. It's them others. My post-accident numbers are still up (a lot) from the historical data. Getting lower though,

GlennR Feb 2015 4:22pm, 13 Feb 2015 12,526 posts	0 GlennR I think we have fewer people asking questions than in the past. Maybe the Beginners thread could do with a prod. Hadd thread is very quiet too.
Gobi Feb 2015 4:25pm, 13 Feb 2015 55,224 posts	0 Gobi So I avoid the Hadd I must admit and yes it has been a while since a real training question was asked but nice to catch up with people as I use so few threads. I paced the Wokingham half (1.22) and had some great stats for that which show that although I am no longer training long my heart is still going well.
Nellers Feb 2015 6:19pm, 13 Feb 2015 29,352 posts	0 Nellers I still use HR for my training. I've started looking for something which is a properly objective measure of changes in fitness. I know the real measure is how fast I run in a race but in the meantime what is there? I'm tracking my pace at 145 (my 70% WHR mark) from the little graph on the training dashboard page. I figure that it must be the best thing easily available as it's a rolling average of 6 weeks so takes out weather and wobbles to average out and it's not really as affected by perceived effort (like trying to run a set route regularly at the same average HR). Over the last 4 weeks that measure has improved by about 4 seconds per mile. Anyone have any thoughts beyond "don't be such a ponce"?

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
