great Raleigh:Easy but warm (78°) 5.29 mi 00:47 08:57 pace
Is tapering allowed before a half marathon? Because I've been doing it--accidentally. My accidental tapering was mostly due to work and trying unsuccessfully to find time to schedule a run. ... read more

I was not as sore going into HIIT today due to some mostly-accidental tapering before my NCRC Half, so this workout didn't seem as intense as most. The routine was repeated three times: (a) ... read more

A lot of run and a third place finish in my age group (out of a field of 14)! Pretty good considering I wasn't really focused on speed and spend more time fiddling with my various LED items a... read more

great HealthTrax:HIIT 01:00
A slightly different mix: 50 burpees, 40 (assisted) pull-ups, 30 single-leg squats (on each side), 20 clapping push-ups, and a half-mile run. Then, rinse and repeat. Wow!

How high does your HR reach during runs?
13 days ago • Like
The highest I've seen is 182 at the end of my recent 5K PR. That makes me 220-182 = 38 years old, right? (I wish!) However, I use 175 as my max for zone calculations (because that's what I thought my max was when I first set up my zones in my Garmin) which makes 163 the split point between zone 4 and zone 5, so I try to keep my HR less than that knowing that that is not sustainable for any duration at all.
For longer runs, I try to keep my heart rate below the zone 3/zone 4 split point--151.
