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.

Inactivity May Trump Fat as Heart Disease Risk-Study
Posted On 10/1/2006 10:23:48 AM by Sandy
When it comes to heart disease, being fit may be more important than being thin, according to a study of more than 900 women published on Tuesday.
"Our study shows that the lack of physical fitness is a stronger risk factor for developing heart disease than being overweight or obese," said Timothy Wessel, a physician at the University of Florida who headed up the research.
The study involved 906 women whose health histories were tracked from 1996 to 2000. Seventy-six percent were overweight at the start of the study, when the mean age of the group was 58.

Marathon running can damage a heart
Posted On 11/28/2007 9:17:10 AM by TriFatlete
Running 26.2 miles is not for the faint of heart.
Abnormalities in heart structure and function were found in men and women who ran the Boston Marathon in 2004 and 2005 by Harvard Medical School researchers.
For some 2,500 years, scientists have written about possible unhealthy outcomes of running for tens of miles when nothing is chasing you. But more and more people are doing it. In 2005, 382,000 runners completed a marathon, 80,000 more than in 2000. That has not led to a massive increase in heart attacks. In fact, Arthur Siegel, an assistant clinical professor of medicine, says the risk of dying from a heart attack is a scant one in 50,000 runners.
