always running in zone 5. My MHR is 179 (220 - 41) therefore zone 5 is 162bpm and above. My pace is a 10min/mile If this is the case what and where am I going wrong?Many thanks in advance Maybe try and do a proper MHR test rather than using the equation method
/155 on steady runs. Now i know this is high but there's nothing wrong with me, it's just the way it is.My running partner will average around 30/40 bpm less than me. Nothing wrong with him either. MHR is personal and shouldn't be compared with anyone else
I do a lot of training based upon % of MHR and the standard formula (using age) gives me a value of about 175 i.e. 220 - 45 = 175. Last week I did a half marathon and during the final kick by rate went up to 185 (at which point I wanted to vomit
There appears to be two distinct methods of working out your zones which produce markedly differing numbers. Which one is the VHS and which one is the Betamax of methods? WHR because it takes into account more variation between people. With %MHR
Why is it that alot of articles seem to underestimate % MHR for various zones of training and racing? I was reading (I think it was in the mag) that 80%-90% of MHR is "red zone" or racing speed. I ran a 10K on Sunday and was at around 93
RHR is 59. I used the method on the RW site to determine my MHR eg the warm-up then 2 x 3 mins hard effort on a treadmill.To my utter surprise my MHR came out at 222!!! I felt this could not be right so did it again a few days later and got pretty
I'm using is dodgy.Thanks in advance Its probably because you've "worked out" your MHR, it can be massivly out for some people, as you've found out. I mainly want to know what it should be to run at 85%. It fluctuated a lot on saturday but I did a
that for e.g. the 60%-70% (106 - 124)zone programmed in the HRM is quite different to the 60%-70% (124 - 137)zone based on my working HR, which is what I had expected on the HRM.How should the zones be calculated ? MHR or WHR ?Has anyone else come across
I know all the formulae for maximum heart rate (MHR). HOWEVER if your heart reaches a speed higher than the formulae predict then that is your MHR.I'm in my 40s and mine is 191. It has been higher in years gone by. I'm fitter than the average person
monitoring for about a month.Based on the following formula I got from this site:MHR - RHR = WHR(WHR * %) + RHR = training zone [e.g. 60% zone = (WHR * 0.6) - RHR]These are my training zones:60% 156.470% 173.880% 191.285% 199.990% 208
