paul the builder Apr 2014 10:58am, 8 Apr 2014 4,430 posts	0 paul the builder Went to check your log - I assumed it was going to be a gentle 4-5m bimble, but fair play. 11 miles. You must have a massive set of ventricles on you.

dibbers Jul 2014 3:46pm, 23 Jul 2014 83 posts	0 dibbers I'm baffled by how I compare to my training partner. Our real MHR and resting HR are pretty much the same -his 171/46 and he's 50 years old. Mine is 170/42 and I'm 53. In races over the last year or so, he's generally 1 minute quicker than me on a 10k and perhaps 2 minutes on a half marathon (although I have beaten him on occassions, but 8 out of 10 races he'd probably just beat me)-so we're not too far apart really. When we run aerobically together at the same pace, he's usually around 10-12 bpm lower than me, which suggests he has a considerably better developed aerobic base, yet his times don't reflect this. I was hoping he has a dodgy heart rate strap! Can anyone shed some light?
Gobi Jul 2014 4:15pm, 23 Jul 2014 54,338 posts	0 Gobi Dibbers - he is faster therefore he is better developed. The fact that the gap gets bigger when you go to a half confirms his aerobic fitness is better than yours. Of course he could just have a bigger heart and be a low beater :¬)
dibbers Jul 2014 4:18pm, 23 Jul 2014 84 posts	0 dibbers It just seems that the difference in BPM seems huge compared to the difference in actual race times
Gobi Jul 2014 4:22pm, 23 Jul 2014 54,339 posts	0 Gobi Dude - do you know how far a minute is in a 10km or 2 mins is in a half It is a long way, if it was 10 seconds then I may have a different view
dibbers Jul 2014 4:31pm, 23 Jul 2014 85 posts	0 dibbers Fair enough. I'll just have to accept that the bastard is fitter than me!

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
