After training using %HR for the last 4-6 weeks I read this article ... pponline.co.uk "you might practise running at 6:25 per mile during training, a level of effort which consistently causes your heart to settle in at 90 per cent of max. In a race, that same pace might shoot your cardiac centre up to 93-94 per cent of max, but the pace won't feel any more difficult than it did during training. You can keep it up, despite the higher heart rate. Meanwhile, if you were glued to 90 per cent of max heart rate, you'd run the race more slowly than you actually could." In other words this research suggests I should train and race using pace rather than %hr or risk running a slow race. Any comments fellow %hr runners?? |

I train with HR but I never wear my HRM in races. The added stress and adrenaline will push the HR higher than in training so in my opinion you can't really race with HR, only pace. But I think using HR in training makes a big difference especialy for keeping long runs and easy runs at the right intensity.

As I understand it Hadd uses a technique of developing endurance base through making sure that the athlete never gets too far into anaerobic running. This has the effect of developing everything necessary for endurance. As a side effect of this the pace you will run for a given heart rate rises. This happens when we train aerobically regardless of system used. If you train to a pace that's fine but you still have to work out at which pace your aerobic threshold is so that you can ensure you train under it for a large proportion of the time. The Hadd system is progessive though and uses regular checks to guage increases in performance - i.e. teh 2400 tests. Basically you should see our paces rise for a given heart rate over time. Basically, faster runners make it look easier because it is easier for them due to their training. They can sustain much faster paces for a comparitively lower heart rate which delays teh point at which they go into more aerbic running. Oh and yes, running to a pace can be difficult in hilly areas - you have to take that into account. |

I like the sound of the HADD system for long distance hill running - is there a book or website where I can learn more?
