Train Properly with a Heart Rate Monitor
Posted On 9/23/2006 9:45:37 AM by Sandy
Using a Heart Rate Monitor takes the guesswork out of your runs. A heart rate monitor not only gives you permission to run slower, but also tells you when you are not running hard enough. Runners - it's time to banish that old belief ?training faster is better;? get rid of the guilt when your training run wasn't quite as fast as what you would have liked. What we now know is that to reach your running goals you must train at the right intensity. To enable us to train at the right intensity, we need to know what our heart rate is and follow a proper training program with a mix of speed or interval workouts, tempo runs, recovery runs and longer runs all done in your target heart rate zone.
