Heart Rate Calculations
I'M sure Rob won't mind, but I've pilfered something from his blog (especially since I advertise it, like, all the time ;) ), specifically his Horwill based heart rate calculations (well the formulae anyway, not his actual calculations). I'm posting these so that I might be more accurately able to control the effort of my training. Barry, Martin, let me know what you think about these values. They're based on...Maximum Heart Rate = 198 (tested September 2003, Lilleshaw Sports Performance Centre)
Resting Heart Rate = 36 (tested today)
Resting Heart Rate = 36 (tested today)
| Category | % VO² Max | % Working Heart Rate (X) | Actual Working HR ((X% * HRR)+RHR) |
| Jog | 35 | 55 | 125 |
| Easy | 50 | 60 | 133 |
| Steady | 60 | 73 | 154 |
| Slow Marathon Pace | 70 | 80 | 166 |
| Fast Marathon Pace | 80 | 88 | 179 |
| Lactic Threshold | 85 | 90 | 182 |
| 10k Pace | 90 | 93 | 187 |
| 5k Pace | 98 | 98 | 195 |
| 3k Pace | 100 | 100 | 198 |
The values it 'pops up' aren't too different from those I've been using, although interestingly it puts lactate threshold running at a higher effort than I've been doing. Do I modify my future threshold runs accordingly Sir Tarsey, or leave them 'as is'? Show/Hide this post [+/-]
