Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I think the idea though (and dont take this as a put down) is to keep running at the lower levels to become more effcient/fitter at that lower HR? Sort of back to the toothpaste analogy?

My 70% are around 8.50mm mark but it used to be 9.40ish about six months ago. As I know do alot of running with runners who run at around 9mm to 11mm at work on top of say my schedule have I become able to 70% alot faster. Its just took time and I didnt know it was happening.

OK, I'll go and read it again. It really it one of the most painful documents to read!

I did get the 150 idea from the doc (for people who's HR is over 193) but will admit dfiting off whenever I've read more than 2 pages :-)

OK I can concur after my 7 mile sub LT run today that Hadd is not all about slow running! Frankly in my current unfit feeling state it felt about 10K race pace! I ran with a slightly faster mate who kept me at a good steady rate.

Looking forward to a nice gentle enjoy the autumn easy recovery run tomorrow :)

Ok, read the doc thoroughly now (and some of boab's posts at the start of the thread) and it makes more sense.

The red herring is the "if you have a max of 193 OR HIGHER" part - it's still an example for Joe's 193 and not for everything above 193 (which is how I read that part when scanning it). On the last page he says (something like) "Obviously if your max is lower/higher then change the figures in the examples". It's just a bit hidden below all the other examples.

I've just completed my first full week of Hadd training and thought I would share with you my comparison figures for my sub LT runs week on week. Both runs were done on my treadmill as I find it easier to control my Hr and ppace more exactly and it also avoids variables such as hills, wind etc.

RHR MHR Distance Average HR Max HR Pace per mile
Friday 16th Oct 38. 185 6.26 miles 146 158 10:09
Friday 23rd Oct 35 185 6.47 miles 146 153 09:43

I intend to keep up the same regime weekly. I have a 10k race in a month's time so will be interested to see the result.

Good stuff, BB.

I was wondering if the treadie is a good place for the test that is usually done on the track. Don't have access to a track and the treadmill would make things pretty consistant.

Mt formatting disappeared when I posted.

Hopefully this will be clearer:-)

BB, your RHR is low, I would have expected a quicker pace given your AHR?
