First of all, I have almost disappeared off the blogosphere, but I am going to make a return because it is something that makes me happy! This weekend I will be relaxing, catching up on life, cleaning, cooking, running, and getting my life into order, which includes blogging.

Heart Rate Training

May 3, 2011

I’ve been wanting to include heart rate training for some time now.  It is important because you can determine what type of zone you are training in (See my aerobic vs anaerobic post).  Most of your training should be in the aerobic zone (90% or more).  In between the aerobic and anaerobic is what they call “no-man’s-land” where you are going too fast or too slow for optimum training of either system.
