Q I had a couple of years without racing, and then took up speedwork again 11 months ago. But even though I’m back up to 40-50 miles a week (from 15-25) and doing speed sessions (typically 6 x 1 mile with four-minute jog recoveries, or 16 x 400m

to recover after each session. Typically, you would record the time it takes your heart rate to drop to 120, or 100 if your training heart rates are usually much below 150. As you get fitter, your recovery time will drop, though naturally it depends

this with some speed, you need to turn to interval training.In an ideal world, you'd be able to use your HRM for every kind of training, but it's less than perfect for short intervals. Imagine running 8 x 1-minute reps with three-minute recoveries. Unfortunately
