Thanks Thomas and Steve,

I suppose I have taken this whole HR thing a little to serious and one should perhaps go more by feel… my perceived effort is not really much higher in these temps, but my HR just goes through the roof (hit 202 yesterday on a 1k strava segment…)

Where are you guys based? I suppose we could do a strava club?

@Dada: I live in the south near Perlacher Forst, therefore I doubt that we met each other :-). From your post I can only see some TSS scores (I am not using a Garmin), do you have the same impact on HR?

What really surprises me is that my breathing does not really feel “appropriate” to the HR, usually I cant talk above 160 which was quite okay today (went for another run after writing this with a friend of mine and we were at my conversational pace, but HR avg 165…)

@Steve: Do you really think acclimatisation will lead to a “learning” effect in the next weeks? How do you think one should go about training then, just do every workout the pace I am used to and ignore the high HR?

Thanks again, this is really helpful to get some outside (and very experienced) feedback/input.

How can one assess whether going back to regular training is advisable?
I suppose, one could think about an HR drift somewhere “safe”?

Dear Thomas,

thanks for this prompt reply.

I suppose I shouldn’t be too worried about all of this but the podcasts you did on overtraining just got me thinking. Or is this just a normal response to the effort?

Hi Reed,

thanks for the reply. I suppose I didnt know what timescale I should be looking at for cardiac drift.

My usual week looks like this: 2x longer workouts (2h running or 2-4h road cycling) usually below 150bpm (75% of max), 2x shorter ones (1-2h run/bike with some nice intervals, going up to 190bpm and rarely all out) and when I find time I usually go out once a week to pay a visit to the mountains (>6000 vert feet in moderate pace, somewhere around 2000feet per hour). If it helps, I can do 40min on a 10k and usually cruise around 33km/h on my bike (in the flats)

I am actually lacking a good hill to do some longer hill/vert workouts nearby, I can do hill sprints (<30secs) but not much more around here…

Is the fitness I am building up doing running/cycling in flats actually going to help in some mountain running? Not really into races, but like to move fast in the mountains to cover more distance.

Anyway, I suppose I should take a couple of days off.. after that 47km run on sunday, my body didnt want to do more than 15km today… started to get dizzy and felt my body screaming to stop… so thats what I did and hopped into the next bus to go where i was going.

Long story short: I suppose this drift test should not be applied to marathon running for non-marathon runners like me 😀

Thanks Rachel!

I actually went out for trying out something new on Sunday. Although I have done a few long runs in the mountains, I never tried it on a flat surface… Well, here is how it went (see image).
As you can see, my HR started to drift quite rapidly after mile 20 or so.
You said a typical HR drift test should be done within an hour, but what does this long drift say about my metabolism etc?

Thanks a lot, maybe we can start an interesting discussion about HR in >20mile “races” here.

5mile min/mile min/5mile HR
1st 8:38 43:12 155
2nd 9:05 45:27 150
3rd 8:52 44:18 152
4th 8:59 44:57 154
5th 9:28 47:19 159
6th 10:04 50:18 158

Hi Rachel,

thanks for the reply!

The total time of these workouts was almost 120minutes, I suppose that should be sufficient data?

What I am trying to figure out is where my AeT is to make sure I stay beneath it during training. From the data I have shown, can one conclude that it is above 157bpm?
