Hi Jane,
Thank you so much for thoses precisions. See, the more I read the more I have question. I wasnt asking myself that much at the beginning but now I have a little bit of knowledges, I have so many questions in my head !!
For a resting BPM of 46, I’m 30 years old so let’s say my max HR is a 220-30=190
Which zones I have to invest in ? Garmin or Karvonen ?
Méthode Karvonen
Zone 1 119 133
Zone 2 133 148
Zone 3 148 162
Zone 4 162 177
Zone 5 177 191
Methode Garmin
Zone 1 96 115
Zone 2 115 134
Zone 3 134 153
Zone 4 153 172
Zone 5 172 191
A last question, for example today I was running really slow, like 7:30min / km, avg bpm at 135, but then, after 8/9 km, at the same pace I was at 155/160. I guess I’m tired from the training I had this week. What should I do in this case to continue to build my aerobic capacity.
Should I :
– Continue until I finish this run at this steady pace, slow pace, ignoring my bpm which is going higher ? I felt the same during the whole run. From the 1km to the 12km. But my bpm was really different.
– Stop running and start walking until my bpm is going low, but I’ve tried this, it was impossible to run again because my HR was going to high at the end of the run
