VicksterH Sep 2015 5:18pm, 13 Sep 2015 1,420 posts	0 VicksterH Interesting reading. I have done 3 runs aiming for 164 as a max heart rate, it's getting easier to run slow enough and I do feel much less worn out when I finish, which is great. My heart rate spikes when I get distracted and speed up a bit, or when going up a hill, but it now feels manageable. Whereas the first run did not feel manageable. I will keep going like this and see what happens. I'm feeling much more positive about running which can only be a good thing
fetcheveryone Sep 2015 2:39pm, 29 Sep 2015 16,499 posts	0 fetcheveryone I've made a little adjustment to the HR line on the big chart in the glasses view. When you switch it on, it uses red to indicate when you're above 85% of WHR, and green when you're below it. I know it would perhaps also be good to indicate when you're in the 'grey' area between 70% and 85% - and that's the sort of thing I'm working on at the moment, in my secret lab deep under the Welsh valleys. Ssshhh.

paul the builder Sep 2015 3:33pm, 29 Sep 2015 5,104 posts	0 paul the builder Lovely stuff Fetch. Are you braced for the inevitable requests for tweakability of the feature? e.g. using MaxHR rather than WHR (and switchpoints being 75% and (say) 88% in that case)

Fragile Do Not Bend Sep 2015 11:08pm, 29 Sep 2015 370 posts	0 Fragile Do Not Bend I'm only just now taking proper notice of my heart rate stats on my training log and wondered why my WHR% and MHR% figures were the same. I took at look on my profile on the Garmin website and saw it had my resting heart rate as 0. Well that would be the reason then! Is there any way to recalculate my WHR% on my training log on Fetch or am I stuck with those figures for my past runs?

steve45 Oct 2015 9:53am, 1 Oct 2015 336 posts	0 steve45 Looking at HR "spikes" I know that mine will always start to rise quickly as I get to within a mile of home! Could be because I start feeling able to push it (but I don't do that consciously) or I want to look as if I'm still running ok towards the end of a workout (again subconsciously). But it's also the short, maybe only ten metre inclines that make mine rise unless I consciously slow my pace.

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
