I push 138 @ 5.8 mph. Then again I've been exercising for 6 months and I'm 40. Last time I did anything at all was in 1992 during a college fitness course.<BR/><BR/>If I had those numbers, I'd be pretty happy! Hopefully I'll get there...Neil Davishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12666635180599877389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195456550562229802.post-11313797169685304192009-01-16T01:22:00.000-05:002009-01-16T01:22:00.000-05:00do you have any HR-based plans available? Once you have done a threshold test (such fun - 15-20 mins of torture, aka a 5k), you'll know your anaerobic threshold HR and you can calculate your zones (1-5). Most training plans have blocks or intervals allocated to be a specific time in a specific zone. The age-related formulas have a wide margin of error - mine differs from actual by about 10-15 bpm.JPShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00962644118543376584noreply@blogger.com
