Training To Heart Rate. Episode 7. Why I Think It's More Useful Than Pace Or Perceived Effort.

Video Description

Note: I'm not against using pace or perceived effort; they can be quite helpful tools when used in combination with an internal metric like heart rate or lactate. I've demonstrated in a previous video how I use them myself, but I'm always coupling them with heart rate for checks and balances. In the first half of the video, I talk about how I use heart rate in order to be more precise with training intensities. I then discuss how I estimated my anaerobic and aerobic thresholds, and demonstrate how you too can create your own heart rate profile. In the second half, I do a 25k run at 90-95% marathon effort, and then show how the heart rate data gives fairly reliable insights into my marathon shape, and how it can help with marathon pacing.
