I'm pretty sure that no one who is serious about analytical training using technology like a HRM would even consider that formula to be accurate. And that's not really a reason to not like training based on HR because max HR can be found other ways.<BR/><BR/>Adam, you're probably right. I guess you'd just have to adjust your numbers, pace, effort, etc. as the season change.Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08412073727859282887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-90207606170965280262008-06-06T17:48:00.000-05:002008-06-06T17:48:00.000-05:00In the spirit of the last post, let me again comme...In the spirit of the last post, let me again comment after roughkat. I think that HR based run training in Minnesota is probably more difficult than most places due to the temperature extremes we have to deal with. I've noticed swings of 15 beats per minute for the same run and effort in the winter vs. summer.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15251846875067789996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11188695.post-77087365889453581762008-06-06T14:00:00.000-05:002008-06-06T14:00:00.000-05:00To be honest, the reason I have VDOT down to the t...To be honest, the reason I have VDOT down to the tenths is because I contacted Jack Daniels to get some other VDOT info for other distances which he mentions in his book I think. He sent me the full tables from his research on VDOT which has all sorts of distances besides the basic 5k, 10k, half-marathon, and marathon. It contains many other distances and all down to the tenth.<BR/><BR/>I too don't like training based on HR because for most runners, 220 minus your age is not your true max HR.roughkathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11502407675299006362noreply@blogger.com
