heart rates for a 24 year old.
Hi All I'm two weeks into my london program now and i'm doing it with a HRM but I've thought that the suggested heart rates for the different runs could be wrong. I have two sets worked out.
easy 50 - 60%
either 90-117 or 124-138 bpm
steady 60 - 75%
either 117-147 or 138-159 bpm
tempo 85%+
either 166 or 173 bpm
which would you guys say is the right set of heart rates to aim for, the first ones for each or the second?

most people dont fit a formula
It's crucial to measure your own figures correctly. Just using the numbers you've quoted above as an example - for me, 147 bpm is equivalent to 70% which I use as a ceiling for my effort levels on long runs. (My average HR tends to be around 142 - 143.) Now if I tried to maintain 159 bpm on, say, a 15 mile run I doubt I'd even want to finish it, and I'd definitely be overdoing things.
Work out your MHR and enjoy the training!
