Naomi P Nov 2012 5:20pm, 21 Nov 2012 10,711 posts	Quote Pin Naomi P I use it for perceived effort (1-10 scale) and find it's very useful as I can't be faffed with a heart rate monitor. For instance, I can see if I'm running like a donkey and finding it really hard too, probably indicates I'm a bit run down.

The_Saint Nov 2012 6:11pm, 22 Nov 2012 5,463 posts	Quote Pin The_Saint I don't know if you can see those fields on my training log. The HRR is how many beats per minute your heartrate goes down in the first 2 minutes after stopping your run. I searched the literature and it seems that it is a fairly good indicator of cardiac health http://scholar.google.co.uk/scholar?hl=en&q=two+minute+heart+rate+recovery&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp= I get values typically between 60 and 95 Cue lots of people telling me this proves nothing and how dare I read things meant for experts . . . In advance can I say that I simply find it interesting, claim no special knowledge beyond the ability to read and don't think it means I won't drop dead tomorrow. . . . . sigh
