SSMinnow - 2011-01-10 9:32 AM Great job Trevor. 

Hope you Southerners are able to deal with the snow....do you even have boots?   While it's cold in  Madison, I see the grass....supposed to get around 2" of snow over the next two days, but for us that's nothing.  Makes me feel like Spring is in the air so I've been pulling out my shorts....oh yeah that's for the trip to Hawaii which is 18 days away!

Awesome Picture Fatty!!!

Techdiver - 2011-01-10 2:53 PM Thanks anyways...hehehe. I wouldn't get the time off work..


Ok who is good with Running information and data analysis. I would like to look at my run on Saturday that I have logged here with all my Garmin data and talk about my heart rate zones and maybe what I did or didn't do right.

According to it I spent most of my time in Zone 4 which isn't right for a longer/endurance run. Mind you I was Just into that zone by about 1-2 beats most of the time my heart rate was 148-149 and slipped a bit more into the 152 range at the end with some speed work here and there. But my average BPM was 139 for the overall work out. Slow Warm up before I let my heart rate fully come up I was running 7:45/km for about 5 min until I was warmed up a bit.

Take note 8KM really is a longer run for me, you can see by my pace I am not setting records here but I WANT TO DO THINGS RIGHT.

I reviewed this data from what I know, and I read this into it.  

1. I pushed just a bit harder then I should have for an endurance run Micmillan Cal said I should run approx 7:12 -7:22/km based on my 5k race time. I ran it just a bit faster 7:03/km I believe

2. This would not be the way to push through even longer runs I should slow down just a bit more to keep my heart in Zone 3. Truthfully I would have run a bit faster if the snow wasn't holding me up a bit, I suspect my BPM would be a few less if I wasn't in the snow.

3. I have never done a lactic threshold test, but heart rate is heart rate right?

4. What could I have done to improve or change this in your mind?


Feel free to ask more questions

Forgive me for being an idiot, but 1) how long have you been running, 2) how did you get your HR zones? and 3) when you say long/endurance run what do you mean?  Want to make sure I understand before weighing in from the peanut gallery.

gdale - 2011-01-10 3:49 PM

Idiot is a little harsh, but I still forgive you

SSMinnow - 2011-01-10 3:02 PM

YOU CAN"T ASK THE SAME QUESTIONS THAT I DO!   If HR was caculated off of Polar One data which I know someone used in this group, probably not great.  I will say I know plenty of people who don't calculate LT when they first start to run (including me for a few years).....getting a Maffetone book on HR training isn't a bad place to start in that event.

kt65 - 2011-01-10 6:29 PM

Don't overthink it.  You did great on your run and sometimes all of that data just weighs us down.  Good job getting it done in the snow!

TrevorC - 2011-01-10 10:01 AM current Calgary weather:
0 F , with windchill -18F.... I did my small bike ride in to work. Friggin cold. Hands felt like ice cubes after the 15 minutes. But hey, didnt pay $25 to park. We pay so much to park here. Unreal.
Crazy storm that hit here this weekend. Highways are closed. Blowing snow. People trapped in their cars.
Good times.

fattyfatfat - 2011-01-10 12:49 PM here the other two knuckleheads.  those "gloves" jack has on are something i picked up on opening day at wrigley five or so years ago.  it was freakin' cold, some credit card company was giving out blankets and those cheap knitted gloved if you filled out an application.  seems i need to invest in something a bit more substantial. 

having a blast in the snow today!!!!




Enjoy the snow in Georgia, we are not supposed to get very much here in MD.

keep up the great work spanky!!!   the data is awesome, for sure.  we'll crunch it all soon enough.  but for now just go freakin' run baby!!!!!   and if you can't have a conversation with yourself, slow down.

dcon - 2011-01-10 8:47 PM I agree - that is a great shot John.

Techdiver - 2011-01-10 3:58 PM First I was FAT 265 ish and 5'6" back in April of last year 2010. I did the couch to 5k with biking and swimming some I am now 215 ish.

Long to me is 10km.. as in that is the furthest I have run about 3 times now. But several runs in the 7-9 km range until fall. Then it all slipped for a bit and turned into 4-5km runs when the weather was nice and More now that I picked up some winter running gear.

My HR was determined via the whole max heart rate minus AGE thing... ya ya. I know not the best but it was the tool I had at the time.

My old resting heart rate used to be 78 BPM and it is now in the 48 BPM range in the morning but more 53 bpm  when sitting still through the day.

I am 36 years old. and I am Cute....does that really matter? sorry shameless plug. Oh but I am married too so single flirty men back off... Flirty women I am ok with.

Thanks in advance for advice help and well whatever.
