That's great news David - you've had a long frustrating wait.

Cheers all. Not sure about recovery time. Seems to vary from a few days to a few weeks, depending on who I am talking to. Of course that's just recovery from the surgery...recovery from the injury...well......

Good to see the old BT thread back up and running...if I ever get back running, I will be following Mr Hadd's principles once again...

Thanks Ratbag and David for your responses to my recent post - actually it's been quite a while since I was on the forums so missed checking.

If I had 6 months with no races on the horizon I would have carried on as I'd been going, but as I don't have that time to play with and have started Shades level 2 marathon plan, I'm just keeping an eye on my HR (before I didn't use a monitor) to make sure easy runs are easy , etc.

I know my 2 months following Hadd's principles have given me a good base for what's to come, and as that's all I can really do for now I'm happy to take that benefit.

Hi.I've been reading quite a bit of this thread and have been doing my base training for just over two weeks now.I use the 180-age formula.For me this is 152bpm max. I did 22 miles the first week and 25 miles last week I am looking to increase it again this week.I did my long run last week and did 8.41 miles in 90 minutes at an average hr of 149bpm.My pace was 10.43/mile.
Today I did more or less the same run just slightly further.I ran for 90 minutes again this time doing 8.61 miles at an average HR of 153 bpm,slightly over my limit but it was hot and sunny.My average pace was 10.28/mile.Is this an improvement? Also is it ok to add a few bpm in hot weather?The running itself did'nt feel hard.

What is the best book to get on base training?I cant seem to find Hadd's approach for some reason.

Thanks

Ian.

Hi.Thanks for that.Why does that formula not work for most people? I went for run this morning and found it quite hard to get HR upto just below my max of 152bpm.I averaged out at 145bpm for 4.92 miles at a pace of 9.09/mile.Felt much better than yesterday.Im really suprised at the amount of mileage I can handle at this level.I was really struggling with mileage until I tried this.

Is anybody still using base training? Would be interested to see if any of the original peeps on the thread have had any success with it.
