Amount of sleep, wind, heat, humidity, hydration, etc. What was key for me, was finding what HR I needed to be at to sustain a certain pace for long runs. Eg. <155 bpm seems to be a good range for long runs of 18+k that I can maintain my pace. 160+ bpm and I can only sustain that pace for about 15k, then I'm toast.Briannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010562925876755413.post-64220365135956548032011-05-24T06:18:59.021-04:002011-05-24T06:18:59.021-04:00Isn't it weird to discover what your heart is ...Isn't it weird to discover what your heart is doing all this time you've been exercising without a HRM? I know I was totally interested to compare workouts. Again, you have a HR of an athlete and I'm jealous! I'm looking to comparing notes on Thursday.. don't forget the hills! I'm sure I'll be wheezing.Scullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05745442527137426283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010562925876755413.post-83489031296621895852011-05-23T15:29:48.309-04:002011-05-23T15:29:48.309-04:00This is the same experience I have with my heart r...This is the same experience I have with my heart rate when I run and bike; the running is always more intense cardio-wise. I think that's just the way it is. I see this reflected in my blood glucose changes during exercise, too. Running is more energetic, however hard it feels.<br /><br />Pretty pictures from your hike, too.Jeffhttp://www.jeffmatherphotography.com/dispatches/noreply@blogger.com
