Running

You really shouldn't have any bother hitting 70% ml...

I assume this is in easy runs only? I find when i'm tired i can only get my legs to a pace that gets me 130s. On fresher days i can get my 70% no bother as my legs will push me there.

Unless it's tiredness in legs?

What's the story with your body telling you not to run today?

Out this morning as normal and after a mile the carcass was shouting at me that it didn't fancy it. What is that - Food the night before? Sleep? The mind? Makes for an unpleasant half hour.

Hopefully it is something more sinister, like Shingles. Check for a rash on your side, lol.

I went for a run on Sunday - first in about two months. My time was embarrassingly slow for 3 mile - but hey, who cares. By ditching my running and concentrating on golf I have reduced my handicap by six shots since January.

First 'real' day off and you go for a run? You are missing the jammy dodgers, you body normally has had about half a packet by this time. Take the kids to the beach and go along the sand, plenty of sunscreen and a wee dip in the water, be like an ice bath which helps

16.30 - 16.45 would be my guess.

Your max heart rate based on your age is only really a ballpark figure and a good guideline...

If you really want to stick rigidly to heart rate training you could do a max test...

When you're at 80% and you try to go faster what happens?? You should generally do those runs at 80 anyway as you'll get cardiac drift so getting to 80 will eventually push itself up to 85...

Just fecking run Forrest!!

Lol. It's useful to begin with and when you run tempos MR. It's a very tried and trusted method...

I only use it twice a week and the rest are run to feel. There is no point being a slave to it but it is interesting to look at sometimes!! (if you're a stat geek...)

During the half marathon I did run to a pace I'd set in my head that would get me 1.45, but found it too slow, felt strange to hold back, I'm glad I did though as it left me a lot in the tank for the last 3 or 4 miles which then give me the incentive to push on, eventually finishing on 1.39 chip time 1.38 Garmin time. My heart rate was 144 average over that disatnce

This.

Was cruising last night until 2km mark, then everything started shutting down. Struggled badly home. Would love to know why this happens.

And he never mentioned that he'll be having monthly sessions with Hehir. You may keep an eye on LL, he'll be on your tail at this rate.

Yes Rois that's them.

Great snaps in fairness.

I've ran 16:45 though it was last year. Training hasn't been going so well for me yet this year to be honest so sub 35 may be a wee bit optimistic. Need a few good months behind me but struggling a wee bit. WIll get there hopefully.

LL is famous now? Must have a look.

Wobbler / ONeill you'll get there. Sometimes running can take a bit of perserverance.
