steve45 Jul 2015 8:54am, 9 Jul 2015 206 posts	0 steve45 My HR remains consistent with no appreciable improvements or declines! Levels re pace (non racing) are pretty much as they have been for a few years. Only use it maybe once or twice a week at the moment and mainly to make sure my (so called!) easy runs are as slow as they should be!
steve45 Jul 2015 9:00am, 9 Jul 2015 207 posts	0 steve45 Re my comment above--as it pans out my training HR is a bit of a silly affair really---I tend to do my longer runs of 10-11 miles without a HRM and run far more comfortably at a faster pace than a lot of the shorter distances. Head wise I always feel more satisfied too. I know the error of my ways....but the long runs are a bit of "running as I feel" and that makes the whole experience pretty much ok and the reason why I run.
GlennR Jul 2015 9:04am, 9 Jul 2015 14,039 posts	0 GlennR I was just snouting at your log Steve and noticed the same thing. If you want the benefits of HR training then you should be doing 80% of your mileage at easy pace. It's as much a discipline as any other part of a training programme.
DebbieAB Jul 2015 9:38am, 9 Jul 2015 124 posts	0 DebbieAB Do you think you get the same benefits of you are doing a good proportion of your easy pace on a bike instead of running Glenn?
GlennR Jul 2015 9:43am, 9 Jul 2015 14,042 posts	0 GlennR In principle yes Debbie - that's certainly what I'm doing since I can't (yet?) run more than about three or four days a week. You can also take rest days of course, something Galloway suggests I think.
DebbieAB Jul 2015 9:52am, 9 Jul 2015 125 posts	0 DebbieAB That's good, because it's ideal for biking at the moment and I've been prioritizing cycling instead of easy pace running because I love it, and it's fun, but it occurred to me I'm either cycling or rest daying rather than easy pace running (except last night). But it's only whilst the weather is how it is.
HermanBloom Jul 2015 3:07pm, 9 Jul 2015 4,851 posts	0 HermanBloom Greetings all. Sorry for the dumb questions but have just started with this HR malarkey. Got a Suunto Ambit3 at the weekend which came with a HRM so have been trying it out. The Suunto site when I upload a run shows all the HR spikes etc, but I assume on Fetch (from looking at the edit screen) I just put the max level recorded during a session? Still trying to figure various things out as Tuesday run had me at 170bpm at one point, and I thought I was taking it fairly steady!
GlennR Jul 2015 3:19pm, 9 Jul 2015 14,051 posts	0 GlennR Average and max I think HB. Hasn't Lord Fetch given us the ability to upload Suunto data directly yet?
GlennR Jul 2015 3:20pm, 9 Jul 2015 14,052 posts	0 GlennR It has an option for Suunto XML under Add Training, but don't ask me what that means.

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
