Thank you for saying it loud so clearly. I just ‚wasted‘ a year to meaningless training before realising that not my heartrate is the problem but my watch showing an absolutely not accurate heartrate. Today was the first day I trained with a chest strap and I literally could have cried so happy was I.

Training with these heart rate numbers GREATLY helped me get faster over 5-10K racing. With that said, the GREATEST help along these lines was the RECOVERY days NOT being at TOO high a level that DID allow my body to recover on my EASY days... No matter how slow you are going, you must keep your HR at that EASY pace, no matter what; even if you must walk to keep your HR BELOW
that easy HR is, you MUST do it to allow your body recovery time. -
Great video! My club coach was explaining how as masters level athletes we tend to train too much at the threshold zones. I noticed this was true as soon as I paid attention. My fitness was no longer increasing. I’ve been careful for 2 weeks , and I’m feeling better looking forward to training, sleeping better, and my technique has improved. All from slowing down.

Changed my perspective in how I view and train for endurance sports as an age grouper triathlete, I mean all you videos. Don’t stop more power to you and your team!

Nice video. Glad I found this channel. I used to run lots of 5km runs. Gave it all every timeand ended at around 200 beats per minute during the last kilometer. Did that more or less on every session. Didn't make me faster either. I thought that was how one was supposed to train. Silly me. That stress is probably why i am in chronic fatigue these days. Nice to see smart people explain things. :-)

I'm in school right now as an Exercise Science major, I like how this is explained here. I like to hear different people explain things, it really helps me out.

Thank you for the breakdown

These videos are great - thank you!

Thanks for a great video

6:37 I was not ready for the close-up. I laughed so hard even though nothing was funny about it. Thanks for the excellent video!
-
Great video.
-
My overnight average HRV has been in the low 20s and separately, I noticed I have been waking up a lot during the night. It all makes sense that my body is in the fight or flight mode 😲 Thank you for the video!

Hi, thank you for sharing. Great info in this channel, and the way you explain is easy to follow even for a newbie like me. Keep the good work.
-
Best explanation yet of heart rate variability. 👍
-
Wow very very informative
-
Hey - awesome video! I wanted to mention that for women who have a menstrual cycle the resting heart rate naturally increases by about 5 bpm in the luteal phase (due to hormonal changes), just to point out that increase HR might not be illness or overtraining! :)

The content on this channel is consistently excellent. I appreciate all the work you put in to make these available. I'd quibble a little bit with describing Zone 5 as Vo2Max, because I've always understood those as mid-distance intervals, run at around 3K race effort, with approximately equal recovery. One minute Zone 5 intervals seems more like anaerobic repetitions. But I know I'm dealing in semantics here. Again, kudos for your consistent top notch content! Much appreciated!
-
Great info. I have always understood that zone 1 is recovery, zone 2 is aerobic, zone 3 is tempo (long run half marathon trainning), zone 4 threshold means 1hr max effort, zone 5 is vo2max.
-
I'm a focused runner. Your information is good.

Hello, thanks for this great video. Is there a video to help us to calculate the single zones? Please advise, thanks
