There are a few things I wish I had known when I started low heart rate training to build my running endurance. These low heart rate running tips will make your experience of running slow to run faster and keeping your heart rate under control, much easier!

I had to give up HR alarm setting as the constant beeping doing my head in!!

@pcservicelondon 7 ай бұрын

On garmin daily training it alerts me if my HR is too high or too low. For that reason I don't set my alarms. Great video.

You mentioned to display the average lap heart rate of 200m laps to avoid going crazy with the heart rate fluctuation. I display the HR zone instead of the actual heart rate. This allows me just to look at the zone, which shows less fluctuation. And I do not worry if it displays 2.0 versus 2.9.

Thank you for the video. I've had problems with my wrist HRM when my chest strap's battery ran out and my watch switched to optical. Suddenly, my HR was 30 bpm higher. It seems to be very prone to errors either due to sweating in summer or poor circulation/cold hands in winter. Sometimes, I can't wear the chest strap because of chafing so I have to run with optical for a bit. Thanks for the tip to use an arm band instead. Next time, I'm going to buy a strap, I may consider an arm strap. I just love the extra data I get from my Garmin Run HRM (running dynamics) but that's now partly covered by the Stryd foot pod.

I have decided to simplify the matter entirely: Throw the heart rate monitors out the window. Use two zones: Nose-breathing zone and mouth breathing. Polarized training is then the vast majority, 80-90%, of your time in nose breathing with the rest in mouth breathing.

@JamesDunne 7 ай бұрын

If you find that you get on better with that approach, than having the objective data to work with, then that's fantastic! Are you training for anything specific right now?

@wavesnowaves 7 ай бұрын

The only real way to know, is to get a lactate test to find your correct Z2, and stick to it. Many people, can comfortably breath through the nose while running - but their lactate threshold is way above what it should be, for proper Z2 training.

Did Maf training and use HR alarm. It drove me nuts. Maf training was way too low for me and the age formula doesn’t work. Just went with perceived effort and stopped looking at my watch. That worked.

Should I employ run-walk-run method while doing Zone 2 training? Because the longer I run, the higher the heart rate is, and despite a quick rest, it still spikes up to Zone 3 after I resume running.

@JamesDunne 7 ай бұрын

Yeah, pacing is everything. Run-walk-run is very much a valid way of managing your effort and heart rate. You'll find that as your aerobic base improves you'll need fewer, then no, walk breaks. It takes time :)

No problem! I hope you find it helpful.

@wavesnowaves 7 ай бұрын

Agree somewhat with the more averaged out HR metric view. If your HR spikes above Z2 for too long, then it can take your system a little while to adjust back. I could run for 30 seconds at 149 bpm, and 60 seconds at 131bpm. For me, this isn't training Z2 effectively. So it's important that you can see your real time HR (or even 5-10 second average at least) to keep control of that. Especially if hills are involved.

Hi, I love zone training and I have my screen on zones with coloured bands to show zone but should I be in the top portion or bottom portion of the zone 2 band ?

I bought a chest strap last year. It’s such a faff to set up, I’ve only worn it a couple of times; each time my watch compared favourably to the strap readings so I put it away. Interesting to know there’s an arm band monitor. That’s where the reading is taken on diy blood pressure machines so, presumably, pretty accurate I imagine. As I always go out with an armband to carry my phone & house key, this might be the way to go. I’ve recently noticed inexplicably random spikes happening in my watch HR readings. I don’t know how long these devices work before needing replacing. Mine is now 3 years old. Nothing lasts forever, I know.

My hr chest strap always gets cadence lock which is apparently impossible but I can see for first 10-15 mins of run it matches my stride then finally drops to the expected hr. Ive done all thie recommended things including wetting it, changing position. I even bought a new one. Gave up now use my watch seems to be a lot more reliable

@theghostofpcs2391 7 ай бұрын

I've been using arm straps for a while now, because chest straps don't really work with my sports bra. I have the polar verity sense and the wahoo tickr fit, which can both not only be used on the upper arm, but the lower arm as well. I prefer to use it on my forearm, and don't get why Coros would limit their strap this way.

@JamesDunne 7 ай бұрын

My understanding is that the closer to the heart you can get your strap the better for accuracy. That's why I choose upper left arm. I could wear it lower, but I just want to try and get the cleanest data.

@todallard8791 7 ай бұрын

The first chest strap I used was from polar and was fine the next one was garmin and it chaffed me bad so I could not wear it but once in a while on shorter runs. The pace does not bother me

@mikejames3148 7 ай бұрын

The arm strap is a Pretty interesting development. They are claiming 99% accuracy... It might be an interesting add on for a future vid to wear more than one watch so you could compare data from arm band with chest strap and/or watch wrist optical system.

@DarrenThomas1 7 ай бұрын

I’ve tried heart rate training before and didn’t have much success. But then I read that it only really works if you’re running high mileage each week, and for me running 20-25 miles a week that it wasn’t enough to make a difference. Not sure if that’s true or not.

@JamesDunne 7 ай бұрын

It's fair to say that more is better (up to a point, of course), but at 20-25 mpw there's definitely still benefit to be had.

@gruntardo7519 7 ай бұрын

I swapped to a chest monitor with my Garmin and it was so much more accurate compared to the watch on its own. I have a question for you, when you go over the max heart rate are you meant to stop and walk and wait whilst it drops and if so what rate below max?

@JamesDunne 7 ай бұрын

Yeah, it makes a real difference!

@JamesDunne I wear an arm band that has a light based alarm. I can configure the maximum HR I want and then it blinks different colours in different zones.

Actually I was speaking to a nurse I run with…she points out the obvious fact that HR is measured from the underside of the wrist in real life. Watches measure from the opposite side and add in sweat and moving around…it really cannot be that accurate.

@chaz4510 7 ай бұрын

I look at the HR zone e.g. 2.5 or 3.1. That way I don’t have to look at the bpm and work out what it means for me.

@ian4iPad2 7 ай бұрын

Exactly how I do it. But I don’t do the alarm setting thingy. I had that working on a pace range when trying a Garmin training plan. The most annoying thing ever. It’s all a bit too OCD, I’m sure a little drift makes no odds overall. I tend to be happy enough if at the end, the charts show at least 85% in zone 2. After all, I’m just guessing where my zone 2 is in the first place.

I've been using chest straps for a while, a cheap one first, then a Polar. Sorry, they're not more reliable than a good wrist monitor, especially when the battery starts depleting. I've seen my HR "spike" to crazy levels, or drop to resting levels, all while I'm doing an easy running effort. The watch never does that...

@JamesDunne 7 ай бұрын

Interesting - I've definitely had the opposite experience with wrist based!

The spikes sound like it is the strap moving around or battery issues and or external interference. Very very occasionally get that but usually at the start when settling in to a run. Always used a chest strap. Watch far too high.
