Subject: heart rate training since buying my hrm ,last month, i have been using it on my runs and my bike rides.i have read some info on the use of this type of training and the benefits of staying in the aerobic zone my ques. has to do with my heart rate elevating above 80% on hills. what i have been doing is slowing down and waiting for my heart rate to slow down. sometimes i feel as if i am barely running at all on these hills but my hr stays above 80%. should i slow down to a walk or is this normal because you only count the average hr during training. i am asking after about 6 weeks of this type of training because i don't want to waist this valuable training time going to hard or to soft. |
