Really interested in how the HRM training is going. It didn't sound like you were pushing your easy runs too much, but without the HRM, RPE might not be enough. So, post already :-). --Alex (aka run350 on twitter)runner-grrlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07725123764353127568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195456550562229802.post-90621223615926437812009-01-04T18:25:00.000-05:002009-01-04T18:25:00.000-05:00I felt using the HRM really helped my training in 2008-helped me keep my easy days easy. And was very encouraging to see things like my hopeful marathon pace fall into the easy zone in the 2nd half of training :)nyflygirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10438782047120715996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195456550562229802.post-52826856550218824672009-01-04T12:15:00.000-05:002009-01-04T12:15:00.000-05:00I think you'll be surprised at what you see on the HRM. They key is knowing what your zones are, your max, etc. Until you can do any kind of threshold test you'll probably have to gauge things based on feel or the old less-than-accurate formulas (age-related). But it's still always surprising at how much work I'm doing when I think it's an easy pace.JPShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00962644118543376584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195456550562229802.post-14664663251034405722009-01-03T12:25:00.000-05:002009-01-03T12:25:00.000-05:00Anonymous is a jerk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
