Bridget - My brain has not been dumbed down by trashy TV yet (or music videos with Lego in them!) The rearranged formula is:- ((MHR-RHR)T%)+RHR = HR where T% = Target heart rate and HR = the heart rate required to achieve this. So, if I was doing an easy run and aiming for <70%WHR, taking my personal HR data from above I…
Tracey, WHR = Working Heart Rate. It is calculated with the following equation:- (x-RHR)/(MHR-RHR) = WHR% where x is the heart rate recorded in your run. RHR is your resting heart rate and MHR is your Maximum Heart Rate. So, in my recent half-marathon I averaged 172HR. My MHR is 194. My RHR is 46. Therefore,…
Big G - Sounds like good progress to me. Ian - Big mileage over 5 days there. Shades - Yes, I've noticed the early mornings. Went out a bit later today and didn't need my headtorch at just after 5am!! Tinman tempo effort today, so 5 miles warm up then 5 at tempo (6:39/46/45/46/38) then 2 miles to cool down for 12 miles for…
That’s great news, Shades. Great mileage from you Ian and Rcouture. Things are ticking over nicely. Cal, sorry you had a bad run. Hopefully you’ll feel a bit better in a day or two. Brian didn’t go out for a run yesterday so I finished the week at the league, just! 46 miles, 5900ft.
Jonny Brownlee was 8th yesterday in 13:46! On the world stage over the longer distances we seem to have a better chance to perform at the top level at triathlon than athletics.
