Training using bpm

Hi guys ive been training for a while now both with work (forces) or in my own time
Im trying to organise my training in order to get most benefit and from what ive read alot seem to recommend most of the weekly mileage to come from long slow runs
I recently got a garmin forerunner 35 and would like to use the bpm from it to pace check myself on these runs.
For my longer runs ill start with them been 1 hour long and slowly build up. What sort of bpm would i be aiming for on these runs? Im 23 too if it helps
And in regards to a simple programme would 5 runs a week do with 3-4 been this long slow easy style and 1-2 been higher intensity like intervals/hill sprints/ fartlek etc

Sorry, but there are lots of thread re bpm, all of which start on the basis of "whats my Max HR", because unless you know that its all a bit vague.

<div class="QuoteText">sighs, have you read the instructions, do you know you're max HR, have you done the calculations to ascertain which bands you want to use, etc. etc.

I tried it slow today and was in zpne 3.9 it said my hr average was 150 i tried slower but it felt weird. I thought max hr was 220-age?

Your max HR is something that is unique to you, may be lower than average or higher, test it to find out what it is.

As the above poster stated, you do need to know your maximum heart rate to assist you.
Once you know that, Hadd recommends 70-75% average heart rate.
