Q Following your advice, I did a treadmill test using a heart rate monitor to work out my maximum heart rate. The result was 177bpm. However, during 40-minute steady runs my pulse easily reaches 165bpm, about 94 per cent of max! Am I training too
Q Having passed 40, Im finding it difficult to shed unwanted pounds. Ive picked up my training but nothing is moving! Ive just purchased a heart rate monitor, with the intention of zone-targeting for weight loss. What is the best way to burn fat
-1000m in running intervalsRather than using distance or speed as your guide, it might be worth using heart rate instead. Your heart rate will tend to be lower for the same effort, when biking: you should take 5-10 beats away from your running heart-rate
